Connect MCP Clients
Apps such as ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Cowork or Cursor, allow administrators to push out MCP servers to their users: add Credal's MCP Discovery URL to automatically push your organization's MCP servers and agents to these apps. Then, when users enable "Claude" or "Cursor" on their preferred MCP servers those apps can automatically connect.
Apps connect to Credal via OAuth. This works out of the box with no per-app configuration required.
