Any MCP-capable client can reach the Equibles server over Streamable HTTP with an API key — here's the generic recipe.

## 1. Install your MCP client

Use any client that supports remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP servers. Check its own MCP setup docs for where server config lives.

## 2. Add the Equibles server

Point the client at the Equibles server with these three values:

```
Transport:  Streamable HTTP
URL:        https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp
Header:     Authorization: Bearer eq_your_api_key
```

Create the key at [/dashboard/apikeys](/dashboard/apikeys) — it starts with `eq_` and is shown once.

> **Can't set a header?** Put the key in the URL instead: `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp?api_key=eq_your_api_key`. Treat any URL containing a key as a secret.

## 3. Test it

Once connected, ask your assistant any of these — it should call an Equibles tool:

<div class="doc-prompts">
  <div class="doc-prompt"><span class="q">›</span> Show me Apple's last five daily closes. <span class="tag">Prices</span></div>
  <div class="doc-prompt"><span class="q">›</span> Who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders this quarter? <span class="tag">13F</span></div>
  <div class="doc-prompt"><span class="q">›</span> Summarize Microsoft's most recent earnings call. <span class="tag">Earnings</span></div>
</div>

## Troubleshooting

<details class="doc-ts"><summary>Server not appearing?</summary>

Fully restart the client after editing its config, and confirm it lists Equibles as connected.

Tell it explicitly to "use the Equibles MCP server" in your prompt.

Your key is missing or wrong — re-copy it from [/dashboard/apikeys](/dashboard/apikeys) into the `Authorization` header (or the `api_key` query parameter). If you're over your daily limit, see [Rate limits](/docs/rate-limits).
