Connect to Claude
Use Ascend Gateway V5 as an MCP server in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
Claude will automatically handle OAuth registration and token exchange. On first use, you’ll be prompted to authenticate with your tenant bearer token.
Claude Code
Add to your project’s .mcp.json (or .claude/settings.json):
Once connected, Claude can use all 34 MCP tools:
Claude Web (claude.ai)
- Go to claude.ai → Settings → Integrations
- Click Add Integration
- Enter:
https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp
- Complete the OAuth flow (paste your bearer token)
- All 34 tools are now available in your Claude Web sessions
Claude iOS
Claude iOS syncs MCP integrations from your claude.ai account:
- First, connect via Claude Web (see above)
- Open the Claude iOS app — your integrations sync automatically
- All 34 tools are available from your phone
Requires Claude Max subscription for remote MCP server support on iOS.
Tips
- Use
format: "compact" on tools to reduce token usage
- Use
fields: ["name", "email"] to request only needed data
- Use
discover_apis first to see what’s available for your tenant
- Claude Code + Claude Web can be used simultaneously — same gateway, different auth (bearer vs OAuth)
