# Connect to CHIT (MCP)

CHIT is a remote (HTTP / streamable-HTTP) MCP server:

    https://mcp-staging.chit.id/mcp

Add it using your MCP client's normal "add remote server" flow.

  - Codex:        codex mcp add chit --url https://mcp-staging.chit.id/mcp
                  codex mcp login chit
  - Claude Code:  claude mcp add --transport http chit https://mcp-staging.chit.id/mcp
  - Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code: add a custom/remote MCP connector with that URL

Authentication: OAuth only. Do not paste or configure an sk_live_* API key.

Your client discovers CHIT's authorization server from this endpoint and prompts
you to approve in the browser. Approve once. Most clients store and refresh the
OAuth token automatically; if yours asks, save it only in that client's own MCP
credential/config store.

Confirm: run `tools/list` (or `/mcp` in a TUI) — you should see tools named
chit_*.

Browser walkthrough, and the non-MCP fallback if your client cannot add a remote
HTTP MCP server or cannot complete OAuth:
