Claude

Configure Anthropic’s Claude Desktop app or Claude Code CLI to use Agent Gateway as an MCP server.

Claude Desktop

Add Agent Gateway to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code CLI

Configure Claude Code to connect to Agent Gateway:

claude mcp add agentgateway --transport sse http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse

Or add to your project’s .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP Transport

For better performance, use the streamable HTTP transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:15000/mcp/http"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

If Agent Gateway requires authentication, include the token in the URL or headers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
