# Connect Hosted MCP

Connect an MCP-capable agent to PolyBridge, then paste a workflow prompt.

## Hosted MCP

Hosted MCP works without a key at anonymous limits. Add an API key or supported OAuth for higher usage.

- Endpoint: `https://mcp.polybridge.ai/mcp`
- Tools: `polybridge_search`, `polybridge_forecast`
- Boundary: Hosted MCP exposes Search and Forecast tools

Use the Developer Console to create API keys or OAuth clients for higher usage.

- Developer Console: `/console`
- OAuth clients: `/console/oauth`

## Claude Code

Use this as a quick local test of Hosted MCP.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http polybridge https://mcp.polybridge.ai/mcp
claude
```

Run `/mcp` and confirm `polybridge · connected · Search and Forecast tools`. Then paste a workflow prompt.

## Other remote MCP clients

Add the Hosted MCP endpoint inside an MCP client.

- Endpoint: `https://mcp.polybridge.ai/mcp`

## Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop uses the local MCPB package, which is separate from Hosted MCP. Local MCPB works without a key at anonymous limits for Search and Forecast. Approved RVOL tools require a PolyBridge API key with `rvol:read`.

- Download MCPB release: `https://github.com/crowdvector/polybridge-mcp/releases/tag/polybridge-mcp-v0.3.1`
- MCP setup: `/api/mcp#local`

## Custom agents

Building your own app or agent? Use Integrate for REST, SDKs, and OpenAPI.
