# Clients

> Manifold is one remote MCP server. Pick the app or agent you use.

Manifold is one remote MCP server over streamable HTTP. A client that can add a remote MCP server can use it, and most need only the server URL:

```text
https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp
```

| Client | How |
| --- | --- |
| [Claude](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/claude) | Go to Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector. Paste the URL and sign in. |
| [Claude Code](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/claude-code) | Run this, then /mcp to sign in. |
| [ChatGPT](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/chatgpt) | Turn on developer mode. Go to Settings, then Apps & Connectors, and choose Create. Paste the URL. |
| [Codex](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/codex) | Run this, then codex mcp login manifold to sign in. |
| [Cursor](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/cursor) | One click, or paste the URL in the MCP section of Cursor Settings. |
| [Gemini CLI](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/gemini) | Run this, then /mcp auth manifold to sign in. |
| [Grok](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/grok) | Go to Settings, then Connectors, and add a connector. Paste the URL and sign in. |
| [Grok Bot](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/grok-bot) | Paste this to the bot. It adds Manifold and asks you to sign in. |
| [OpenCode](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/opencode) | Run opencode mcp add, choose Remote and paste the URL. |
| [Any other client](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients/other) | Add it as a remote MCP server in any other client. |

## What every client needs

- **The server URL** above. The transport is streamable HTTP.
- **A sign-in.** Most clients open a browser for OAuth. A client that cannot do that sends an API key as a bearer token. See [Authentication](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/authentication).

## Check that it works

Ask your agent "What Manifold tools do you have?" It should name tools such as [`seo_get_serp`](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/tools/seo#seo_get_serp) and [`leads_search_people`](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/tools/leads#leads_search_people). Then ask a real question, and look for `meta.credits_charged` in the result to see what it cost.

## If something goes wrong

- **No tools appear.** Reload or restart the client after you add the server. In chat apps, check that Manifold is on for this chat.
- **The browser never opens.** Some clients need a sign-in step of their own: `/mcp` in Claude Code, `codex mcp login manifold` in Codex, `/mcp auth manifold` in Gemini CLI.
- **Some tools are missing.** A tool group may be switched off on the app's Tools page. See [Authentication](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/authentication#turn-tool-groups-off).
- **A call returns `InsufficientCredits`.** The workspace is out of credits. See [Plans and top-ups](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/plans).
