No Python required — sign in or use an API key

Connect to the hosted MCP server. No local install, no Python, automatic updates. Claude Desktop signs in with your CanadaGPT account; Claude Code uses an API key (BASIC or PRO). BASIC and PRO unlock more tools and higher rate limits.

Claude Desktop (add to config):

Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings.
Navigate to the Connectors section.
Click "Add custom connector" at the bottom of the section.
Enter a name (e.g., FedMCP) and paste this URL:
```
https://fedmcp.canadagpt.ca/mcp
```
Click "Add".
On the connectors page click "Connect" next to FedMCP.
In the browser page, sign in and authorize Claude to access your CanadaGPT account.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" --scope user fedmcp https://fedmcp.canadagpt.ca/mcp

Replace YOUR_KEY with your API key from Settings (requires BASIC or PRO).

Get your API key at Settings.
