# Connect Claude Code

Configure Claude Code to use MARqentic’s remote marketing research tools.

## Set up the connection

Use this deployment’s remote MCP endpoint. Cloud-hosted clients need a publicly reachable HTTPS address; a localhost preview is only reachable by clients running on your machine.

1. Run the command below from the project where you want to use the server. Add --scope user if you want a user-wide configuration.
2. Open Claude Code, run /mcp and select marqentic to start authorization.
3. Finish sign-in in the browser and approve the workspace you intend to use.
4. Review tool permissions when Claude Code asks to execute research.

```
claude mcp add --transport http marqentic https://devshine-seo-mcp.vercel.app/mcp
```

## Check the connection

Ask the assistant to list its MARqentic tools, then estimate a small research request with dry_run: true where supported. The result should include cost metadata. Paid execution needs sufficient credits in the approved workspace.

Missing tools may mean a category is disabled or the client has an older cached tool list. Refresh discovery before reconnecting.
