The Deframe MCP Server is hosted and ready to use — no installation required. Point your AI host at the server URL and add your API key to start using all 25 tools and 9 prompts. Server URL: http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp

Prerequisites

  • A Deframe API key — get one here
  • An MCP-compatible host: Claude Desktop or similar
  • Node.js installed (required for npx)

Claude Desktop

1

Open the configuration file

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Create the file if it does not exist.
2

Add the server entry

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.deframe.io/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key:your-api-key"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Claude Desktop uses mcp-remote as a bridge to connect to remote HTTP servers. The --allow-http flag is required because mcp-remote enforces HTTPS by default.
3

Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen the app. The Deframe tools will appear in the tool picker.
Ask Claude “what Deframe tools are available?” to confirm the connection.

Claude Code

1

Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http deframe http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp --header "x-api-key:your-api-key"
Claude Code supports HTTP transport natively — no mcp-remote required.
2

Verify the connection

claude mcp list
Ask Claude “what Deframe tools are available?” to confirm the connection.

Cursor

1

Add the server

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key:your-api-key",
        "--allow-http"
      ]
    }
  }
}
The --allow-http flag is required because mcp-remote enforces HTTPS by default.
2

Verify the connection

Open Cursor and ask in the chat “what Deframe tools are available?” to confirm the connection.
The Deframe tools will appear in the tool picker.

Google Gemini CLI

1

Add the server

gemini mcp add --transport http \
  --header "x-api-key:your-api-key" \
  deframe http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp
2

Verify the connection

gemini mcp list
Or, inside a Gemini chat session, run /mcp enable deframe.
Ask Gemini “what Deframe tools are available?” to confirm the connection.

OpenAI Codex

1

Add the server

codex mcp add deframe -- npx -y mcp-remote http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp --header x-api-key:your-api-key --allow-http
2

Verify the connection

codex mcp list
Ask Codex “what Deframe tools are available?” to confirm the connection.

Other Agents

Any MCP-compatible host that accepts a mcpServers JSON config can connect to the Deframe server using mcp-remote:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://mcp.deframe.io/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key:your-api-key",
        "--allow-http"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Replace your-api-key with your Deframe API key. The --allow-http flag is required because mcp-remote enforces HTTPS by default.
