Connection Guide

Connect Marcora to Claude Code

One connection, three surfaces. Marcora runs as a remote MCP server, so you authorize once and your context is available wherever you work, the terminal, the desktop app, or Cowork. There are two ways to connect: the Claude Code CLI and desktop app share one config, and Cowork connects on its own. Pick yours below.

Claude Code (CLI and Desktop)

The CLI and the desktop app share the same configuration, so one command covers both.

Add the Marcora MCP server

In your terminal, run:

claude mcp add --transport http marcora https://mcp.marcora.ai --scope user

The --scope user flag makes Marcora available across all your projects. The default is local-only.

Authorize

In a Claude Code session, run /mcp and approve access (or run claude mcp login marcora) to finish the OAuth flow.

Verify

Run claude mcp list to confirm Marcora shows as connected, or ask "What's my brand foundation?" It should call get_brand_foundation and return your company overview and brand voice.

Headless or CI? Use an API key instead

Generate a key at app.marcora.ai/integration-settings, then:

claude mcp add --transport http marcora https://mcp.marcora.ai --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Desktop app

The desktop app reads the same config as the CLI, so the command above works as-is, or you can edit .mcp.json / ~/.claude.json directly. There's no separate GUI for adding custom HTTP servers.

Claude Cowork

Cowork is the agentic app inside Claude Desktop. It connects to Marcora over OAuth from Anthropic's cloud, so the server must be publicly reachable (mcp.marcora.ai is). There's no API-key path here, OAuth only.

Add the connector

Go to Customize > Connectors, click the + button, and choose Add custom connector.

✣ Companion Skills

Teach Claude Code How Marcora Thinks

Two Anthropic Skills ship alongside the server and give Claude Code Marcora’s mental model, so it knows when to pull context, which blueprint fits, and how to build a workflow.

Claude Code-Specific Notes

Available on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Free is limited to one custom MCP server. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner may need to add the connector for the workspace first.

One connection covers both the Claude Code CLI and desktop app (shared config). Cowork connects separately.

The companion Skills are optional but recommended.

The API-key (Bearer) method is Claude Code only, the CLI and desktop app. Cowork is OAuth-only.
