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:

{
  "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 .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ascend-gateway": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Once connected, Claude can use all 18 MCP tools:

Claude Web (claude.ai)

1. Go to claude.ai → Settings → Connected MCP Servers
2. Click Add Server
3. Enter: https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp
4. Complete the OAuth flow (paste your bearer token)
5. All 18 tools are now available in your Claude Web sessions

Claude iOS

Claude iOS syncs MCP servers from your Claude Web account:

1. First, connect via Claude Web (see above)
2. Open the Claude iOS app — your MCP servers sync automatically
3. All 18 tools are available from your phone

tip

Requires Claude Max subscription for remote MCP server support on iOS.

Claude Cowork (Autonomous Mode)

Claude Cowork inherits all MCP connections from your Claude Web account. When Cowork runs autonomously:

• It can call any of the 18 gateway tools
• Tool calls are authenticated with your OAuth token
• Results flow back into the Cowork session

No additional setup needed — just connect via Claude Web first.

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)
