# MCP server

> Connect your AI agent to Outseta with the remote MCP server — manage your account and analyze your business data directly.

Skip the dashboard. With our remote MCP server, your agent can manage your Outseta account and analyze your business data directly. The server is available at:

```
https://mcp.outseta.com
```

## Install MCP server

Pick your client below for setup instructions.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    Add the MCP server using the command line:

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

    Alternatively, add this configuration to `.mcp.json`:

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

    After configuring the MCP server, you need to authenticate. In a regular terminal (not the IDE extension) run:

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude /mcp
    ```

    Select the `outseta` server, then **Authenticate** to begin the authentication flow.

    Alternatively, add this configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:

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

<Info>
  **Authentication**

  Some MCP clients will automatically prompt you to log in during setup, while others require the manual step above. Either way, a browser window opens where you can log in to your Outseta account and grant the MCP client access.

  No personal access token or API key is required — authentication is handled through your Outseta login.
