Connect over MCP

Connectors is a remote HTTP MCP server. Point any MCP client at your /mcp URL with a bearer token, and the agent gets the sketch_* tools.

Add to Claude Code

Claude Code can connect to a remote HTTP MCP server. Use a personal access token when you want static bearer-token auth.

claude mcp add --transport http canvas-connectors "$CONNECTORS_MCP_URL" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CONNECTORS_API_KEY"

Then run Claude Code and check /mcp to confirm that canvas-connectors is connected.

If your deployment is configured for OAuth MCP, add the server URL without a bearer token and complete the browser consent flow from Claude Code’s /mcp panel.

Add to Cursor

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global setup, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canvas-connectors": {
      "url": "${env:CONNECTORS_MCP_URL}",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:CONNECTORS_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor or reload MCP servers from Cursor settings. Ask the agent to list available tools, then try:

Other clients and SDKs

Any MCP client works the same way — point it at the /mcp URL and pass your token. For agent frameworks, see the SDK guides (Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI SDK, LangChain, raw HTTP).
