Claude
Claude Code, Desktop, and claude.ai speak MCP natively.
Claude connects over streamable HTTP, discovers all nine AgentCents tools automatically, and decides when to call them from normal conversation.
How it works with AgentCents
Claude passes an idempotency key on writes, resolves categories through free text, and treats pending_review as a normal outcome. Claude Code is especially useful for logging an expense while doing other work.
Setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http agentcents https://www.agentcents.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ac_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"Then in a session: “call whoami on agentcents.”

Worth knowing
- API keys work today. OAuth is also supported if you prefer a consent screen.
- Claude Code connections are local to that machine and do not automatically appear in Claude Desktop or claude.ai.
Prefer a guided setup with sign-in, permissions, and a connection test?
