Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and ChatGPT to Meow MCP
Step-by-step setup for connecting Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, Goose, and other MCP clients to the Meow MCP server with OAuth.
The Meow MCP server speaks HTTP, the recommended transport for remote MCP servers. Pick your client below for copy-paste configuration. For how authentication and permissions work once you connect, see Authentication & scopes.
OAuth. Assistants and coding agents where you sign in with your Meow login. Account, payment, card, and bill tools.
https://mcp.meow.com/cli
Onboarding only.Agent-led signup for new accounts. No account tools.
If you have a Meow account, use https://mcp.meow.com and sign in. Use https://mcp.meow.com/cli only when you don’t have an account yet and want agent-led signup. For the terminal, use the Meow CLI and run meow login.
To open VS Code and add the Meow MCP automatically, click install. Or add the following to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. See the VS Code documentation.
claude mcp add --transport http meow https://mcp.meow.com
Then authenticate from inside Claude Code:
claude /mcp
When the server needs authentication, Claude Code marks it as requiring sign-in (an HTTP 401). Run /mcp to complete the OAuth flow in your browser; tokens are stored securely and refreshed automatically.Don’t have a Meow account yet? Add the onboarding surface for agent-led signup:
claude mcp add --transport http meow https://mcp.meow.com/cli
In Claude.ai, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and enter the server URL:
Server URL: https://mcp.meow.com
Connection: OAuth. You’ll be redirected to sign in to Meow and choose permissions.
Make sure network egress is enabled under Settings → Capabilities.
You can enable MCP connectors on ChatGPT with a Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, or Education account. Follow the OpenAI documentation, using:
Server URL: https://mcp.meow.com
Connection: OAuth
Don’t have a Meow account yet? Use the onboarding surface https://mcp.meow.com/cli for agent-led signup.
MCP is an open protocol supported by many clients (Goose, Windsurf, Cline, and more). Consult your client’s documentation, and use the server URL https://mcp.meow.com with OAuth as the connection mechanism.
{ "meow": { "url": "https://mcp.meow.com" }}
Don’t have a Meow account yet? Use the onboarding surface https://mcp.meow.com/cli for agent-led signup.
Don’t have a Meow account yet? Connect to https://mcp.meow.com/cli and ask your assistant to open one. The assistant walks you through the entire flow:
Call the start tool first. It returns step-by-step instructions, and each response tells the assistant what to do next.
Add, update, or remove owners and signers from the conversation.
Upload required documents through the assistant.
The assistant verifies your email with a six-digit code, then gets a 7-day onboarding key. The key works only with onboarding tools, and only while the business is onboarding or under review. After approval, sign in with OAuth at https://mcp.meow.com or run meow login to use your account.In the terminal, run meow onboarding start in the Meow CLI to start the same flow.
After each tool call, the assistant follows the step_instructions.directive field in the response. This keeps the guided signup on track without you leaving the chat.
Understand the OAuth flow and what each permission grants.
