# 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`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ascend-gateway": {
      "url": "https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}
```

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`):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ascend-gateway": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Available Tools

Once connected, Claude can use all 34 MCP tools:

## Claude Web (claude.ai)

1. Go to [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) → **Settings** → **Integrations**
2. Click **Add Integration**
3. Enter: `https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp`
4. Complete the OAuth flow (paste your bearer token)
5. All 34 tools are now available in your Claude Web sessions

## Claude iOS

Claude iOS syncs MCP integrations from your claude.ai account:

1. First, connect via **Claude Web** (see above)
2. Open the Claude iOS app — your integrations sync automatically
3. All 34 tools are available from your phone

<Tip>
  Requires Claude **Max** subscription for remote MCP server support on iOS.
</Tip>

## 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)
