usecreable MCP

Connect Claude Desktop — or any stdio-only MCP client — to the hosted usecreable MCP server with a single command.

usecreable already runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.usecreable.com. Clients that speak remote MCP natively (Claude Code CLI, Cursor) connect to it directly. Claude Desktop reads only stdio servers, so this package bridges the gap: it's a tiny stdio↔HTTP proxy that forwards your MCP session to the hosted server and injects your API key.

It does not reimplement any tools. The full toolset lives on the hosted server — this package is purely a transport bridge, so it never goes out of date when tools change.

Get an API key

Create a key in your usecreable dashboard under Settings → API & integrations. Keep it secret; you can revoke and rotate it at any time.

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and add a usecreable entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usecreable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "usecreable-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "USECREABLE_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. The usecreable tools will appear in the client.

Already on Claude Code or Cursor?

You don't need this package — those clients connect to the hosted server directly:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add usecreable --transport http https://mcp.usecreable.com/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer your-key-here"

Cursor (Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usecreable": {
      "url": "https://mcp.usecreable.com/v1",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-key-here" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

| Source | Purpose | | --- | --- | | USECREABLE_API_KEY (env) | Your API key. Required. | | --key <value> (arg) | Your API key. Takes precedence over the env var. |

The endpoint is baked in (https://mcp.usecreable.com/v1); no URL configuration is needed.

Troubleshooting

• "invalid or expired usecreable API key" — the hosted server rejected your key (HTTP 401). Create a fresh one in Settings → API & integrations and update your config.
• "No usecreable API key found" — set USECREABLE_API_KEY in the env block (or pass --key), then restart the client.
• Tools don't appear after editing the config — fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. MCP servers are launched at startup and don't hot-reload.
