Every client connects to the same endpoint:
What differs is where the config lives and what the file looks like. Pick your client.

​
The eleven supported clients

Most of these handle OAuth themselves: you add the URL, they open a browser on first connect, and they store the credential outside your config file, so no secret goes in mcp.json. Two work differently. ChatGPT has no config file at all and is added through a plan-gated developer surface, and Qwen Code expects a bearer token in ~/.qwen/settings.json, because its OAuth configuration needs a static client id that Hive does not issue. Their pages cover both.

Anything else

If your client speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP, it will work. See compatible MCP clients for the shape most clients expect and what to do when yours needs a key instead of OAuth.

​
After you connect

Start a fresh session so the client re-reads its server list, then ask a question that needs live data. Quickstart has a couple that make it obvious whether the connection is working.
