# SOLARI — Connect over MCP

SOLARI also runs as a remote MCP server. A host with MCP support connects to it directly and gets the same read-only tools as the CLI, with nothing to install. One address is all it needs:

```text
https://solari.sh/mcp
```

The first connection opens a browser to sign in with your SOLARI account. The host then asks which tools it may call, and nothing runs until you approve. Access is read-only from every host.

### Claude Desktop

Open Settings and choose Customize at the bottom of the sidebar.

_Settings → Customize_

Go to Connectors, press Add, and fill in the dialog: a name for the connectors list, and the address above.

_Connectors → Add → Add custom connector_

Continue walks you through sign-in once. After that SOLARI sits in your connectors list and its tools are available in any chat. claude.ai works the same way.

### Claude Code

One command registers the server.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http solari https://solari.sh/mcp
```

Claude Code asks you to sign in the first time it reaches the server. /mcp shows the connection and lets you start that yourself.

### ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects the same way as Claude Desktop: add the address as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors, then sign in. Custom connectors are a paid-plan feature in ChatGPT.

### Other hosts

Other apps that support remote MCP servers can connect too. Most of them take an entry like this in their settings file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solari": {
      "url": "https://solari.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

> Some apps can only run MCP servers installed on your own machine. Those cannot reach SOLARI directly — use the CLI instead.
