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"
    }
  }
}

• Use discover_apis first to see what's available for your tenant
