Create an Account

In order to use mcp.run and mcpx, you need to create an account. With an account, you are able to:

  1. Install servlets and add new capabilities to your AI applications and agents
  2. Configure servlets with your own API keys and other settings to integrate with other services
  3. Publish your own servlets to customize your AI products and share tools with others

Why create an account?​

Since the servlets you install are tied to your account, any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Sourcegraph Cody, Continue.dev, etc) that you can connect with mcpx will automatically get the same tools. This offers you a consistent experience with all of the tools you need across all your AI applications.

How to start​

First, head to mcp.run and create your account by clicking the Sign Up button in the header.

Upon doing so, you will be asked to link a GitHub account. This is currently the only identity manager we support. If you'd like to see more, please reach out and let us know.

Once you authenticate with GitHub, you are ready to use mcp.run, as well as mcpx, which you can learn about installing here.

Log in via Claude Desktop or Other MCP Clients​

Not using Claude Desktop?

We'll refer to Claude Desktop in this tutorial, but if you're using any different application that supports MCP, the same instructions should apply. If you have any trouble, please reach out and get help.

After mcpx is installed, you should see new tools available to use. If not, see the troubleshooting section below.

Assuming everything is working, you can now ask Claude to log you in to mcp.run, by prompting it with something like:

Please log me in to mcp.run

This should initiate a log-in sequence, which will open up a browser window for you to accept the log-in request.

If not, you may be using a browser or operating system which we couldn't automate this process. Please reach out and we can see that you are successfully logged in. This is a critical step, and without logging in, you will not be able to access your tools.

Troubleshooting​

If you are not seeing new tools available to Claude Desktop, please quit and restart the application.

If after fully quitting the application, you still can't see new tools, or are unable to run the log-in prompt and authenticate, you may have network connectivity issues, or something is misconfigured.
