Connect Claude Desktop and Claude Code to agentgateway

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

Before you begin

1. Install and run agentgateway.
2. Confirm agentgateway is up by opening the agentgateway UI.
3. Use the same MCP endpoint and port that your local config exposes. Common examples include:
   • http://localhost:15000/mcp/sse
   • http://localhost:15000/mcp/http
   • If you run agentgateway on a different host or port, replace localhost:15000 in the examples accordingly.

Claude Desktop

Add agentgateway to your Claude Desktop configuration file.

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

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

Claude Code CLI

Configure Claude Code to connect to agentgateway.

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 agentgateway requires authentication, include the token in the URL or headers.

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