# Getting Started with MCP

> Connect Flowla to your AI assistant in minutes.

## Supported clients

Flowla MCP works with any MCP-compatible client. The server URL is:

```
https://mcp.flowla.com/mcp
```

The server uses OAuth 2.0 — your client will open a browser window to
authorise Flowla on the first connection.

    **Claude Desktop**, **Cursor**, **Windsurf**, **Gemini CLI** and other
    desktop or CLI clients authenticate via a local callback. See the
    Claude Desktop section below for a one-line installer. **Claude Code**
    users can install the plugin directly — see below.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Web UI" icon="globe">
    **Claude Web** (claude.ai) authenticates via
    `https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback`. No installer needed — paste
    the server URL directly into your Claude Web settings.

## Claude Desktop

Run the following command in your terminal to install and configure the
Flowla MCP server for Claude Desktop automatically:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Mac / Linux">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://app.flowla.com/mcp/install.sh | bash
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows (PowerShell)">
    ```powershell theme={null}
    iwr -useb https://app.flowla.com/mcp/install.ps1 | iex
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

The installer will:

1. Check for Node.js and install it automatically if missing
2. Write the Flowla MCP server configuration to Claude's settings file
3. Back up your existing Claude config before making any changes

### Verify the installation

After restarting Claude Desktop, go to **Settings → Developer**. Flowla
should appear in the list of connected MCP servers.

## Claude Code

[Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) is Anthropic's CLI for Claude. Install the
Flowla plugin with two commands:

```bash theme={null}
claude plugin marketplace add flowlacom/claude-plugin
claude plugin install flowla
```

On first use, Claude will open a browser window to authorise your Flowla account.
