# Connect MCP clients

> Add the hosted StoreInspect MCP server to ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code, and other remote MCP clients.

StoreInspect MCP is a hosted remote MCP server. Use the same endpoint in every client:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

Authentication is OAuth. When the client connects, sign in to StoreInspect and approve the requested scopes.

<Warning>
  Do not paste StoreInspect API keys into AI clients. MCP uses OAuth and does not require API keys.
</Warning>

## Before you begin

* A paid StoreInspect plan with API access
* An MCP-compatible client
* Access to sign in to the StoreInspect account you want the client to use

## ChatGPT

Use StoreInspect MCP as a custom connector.

1. Open ChatGPT settings.
2. Go to Connectors.
3. Create a custom connector.
4. Use this MCP server URL:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

5. Choose OAuth as the authentication method.
6. Sign in to StoreInspect and approve the requested permissions.
7. Ask ChatGPT to use StoreInspect to check your current usage.

## Claude

Use StoreInspect MCP as a custom connector.

1. Open Claude settings.
2. Go to Connectors.
3. Add a custom connector.
4. Use this URL:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

5. Start the OAuth flow and sign in to StoreInspect.
6. Ask Claude to use StoreInspect to show your current quota state.

## Claude Code

Run:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http storeinspect https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

Then open Claude Code and run:

```text theme={null}
/mcp
```

Follow the OAuth flow to authenticate with StoreInspect.

## Codex CLI

Add the hosted MCP server:

```bash theme={null}
codex mcp add storeinspect \
  --url https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp \
  --oauth-resource https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

Authenticate with StoreInspect:

```bash theme={null}
codex mcp login storeinspect
```

Then open Codex and run:

```text theme={null}
/mcp
```

Confirm that `storeinspect` is connected.

## Cursor

Add StoreInspect MCP to your Cursor MCP configuration.

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storeinspect": {
      "url": "https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

When Cursor starts the connection, complete the StoreInspect OAuth flow.

## VS Code

Use VS Code's MCP server configuration.

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "storeinspect": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Then authenticate with StoreInspect when prompted.

## Other clients

Use these settings for clients that support remote MCP servers:

| Setting        | Value                              |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Server URL     | `https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp` |
| Transport      | Streamable HTTP                    |
| Authentication | OAuth                              |

For JSON-based clients, use:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storeinspect": {
      "url": "https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Verify the connection

Ask your client:

```text theme={null}
Use StoreInspect to show my current usage.
```

The client should call `get_usage` and return your plan, request quota, search-row usage, and remaining contact credits.

If the client cannot connect, see [MCP troubleshooting](/mcp/troubleshooting).
