claude.ai and Claude Desktop: add the custom connector
Fastest path: click "Add to Claude" above. It opens claude.ai's Add custom connector dialog with the name and URL already filled in; review and confirm. To do it by hand instead: open Settings, then Connectors, then "Add custom connector", and fill in two fields only: Name (LinkJolt) and Remote MCP server URL (below). Leave OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret empty under Advanced settings, since LinkJolt registers your client automatically. Available on every Claude plan (Free accounts can add one custom connector). On Team and Enterprise plans an organization Owner adds it once for everyone.
https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcpApprove access on the LinkJolt page that opens
Your browser opens a LinkJolt approval page (instantly if you're already signed in to LinkJolt; otherwise sign in with your merchant account first). The page lists exactly what Claude can read and write, scoped to your active brand, and approving payouts is never possible through the connector. Click Approve and setup is finished: nothing to install, no API key to copy, and you won't see this page again. Disconnect any time from Claude's connector settings.
Claude Code (terminal): add the endpoint, then sign in
Claude Code supports the same OAuth sign-in as the apps, so there is no key to create or paste. Add the server, then run /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate; your browser opens the LinkJolt approval page. Use --scope user so the server is available in every project, not just the folder you ran the command in.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user linkjolt \
https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcp
# then, inside Claude Code:
# /mcp -> select linkjolt -> authenticateClaude Code alternative: use an API key instead
For CI or headless setups where no browser is available, send an API key header instead of signing in. Create a key at linkjolt.io/merchant/api-keys (Pro keys are read-only, Ultimate and Scale keys can also write). Paste your real key: with a placeholder the server still answers the tool list, so the connection looks healthy until the first tool call fails.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user linkjolt \
https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer lj_pk_REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY"Alternative: local npm package (stdio)
Only for clients that cannot reach a remote server at all. It carries the same tools as the hosted endpoint, but not the prompts, and it needs an API key rather than the OAuth sign-in above. Use the hosted endpoint unless you are stuck on stdio.
