Connect a client

The server is configured with a single URL and no credential. Signing in happens in your browser through OAuth, so there is no key to paste, store, or rotate.

https://mcp.centralcsp.com

Settings > AI tools in the dashboard generates the same snippets with your environment filled in, and is the place to check whether your plan includes the feature.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --client-id mcp centralcsp https://mcp.centralcsp.com --scope user

Then:

1. Run /mcp inside Claude Code and pick Authenticate.
2. Sign in with your CentralCSP account in the browser that opens.
3. Run /mcp again to confirm the server is connected.

--scope user registers it for every project. Leave it out to add it to the current project only, which writes to that project's .mcp.json.

Claude Desktop

Remote servers are added as custom connectors rather than from a config file.

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
2. Paste https://mcp.centralcsp.com.
3. Open the advanced settings and enter mcp as the OAuth client ID. Leave the client secret empty.
4. Save, choose Connect, and sign in.

Codex CLI

[mcp_servers.centralcsp]
url = "https://mcp.centralcsp.com"
auth = "oauth"

Then:

1. Run codex mcp login centralcsp to start the sign-in.
2. Sign in with your CentralCSP account in the browser that opens.
3. Run codex mcp list to confirm.

Codex registers itself with the sign-in server, so there is no client ID to set.

Use .codex/config.toml inside a trusted project to scope it to that project instead.

Any other client

Most clients take this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "centralcsp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.centralcsp.com"
    }
  }
}

Restart the client so it picks up the server, then approve the sign-in prompt.

Two variations to expect. Some clients name the transport streamable-http rather than http, and a few use servers as the top-level key. If the client asks for an OAuth client ID, use mcp with no secret.
