Claude Code accepts remote MCP servers via the claude mcp add command. Works in the CLI, the VS Code extension, and the JetBrains plugin.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed (claude --version ≥ 2.x)
  • A Forvibe API key from Settings → API Keys, starting with fvk_live_

Add the connector

Run this from any terminal:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http forvibe https://www.forvibe.app/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer fvk_live_..."

Replace fvk_live_... with your actual token. The name forvibe is what Claude will show in tool calls — change it if you'd like.

Pass --scope user to make the connector available across every project on this machine; the default scope is project-local (writes to .mcp.json).

Verify

Confirm the connector is healthy:

bash
claude mcp list
claude mcp get forvibe

Then open a new Claude session and ask "List my Forvibe projects." Claude should call list_projects and print your project list.

Remove or rotate

bash
# Remove the connector entirely
claude mcp remove forvibe

# Re-add with a rotated key
claude mcp add --transport http forvibe https://www.forvibe.app/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer fvk_live_NEW_KEY"

If you revoke a key from the Forvibe dashboard, Claude will start receiving 401s on subsequent tool calls. Run the commands above to swap in a fresh key.
