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 MCP endpoint http://localhost:3000/mcp/http to connect your client to agentgateway. If you run agentgateway on a different host or port, replace localhost:3000 in the examples accordingly.

Claude Desktop

Add agentgateway to your Claude Desktop configuration file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp/http"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp/http"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code CLI

Configure Claude Code to connect to agentgateway.

claude mcp add agentgateway --transport http http://localhost:3000/mcp/http

Or, add to your project’s .mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp/http"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentgateway": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp/http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
