MCP client setup

Platica's MCP server speaks Streamable HTTP (spec 2025-11-25) — the official HTTP transport of the Model Context Protocol. Any client compatible with this transport can connect directly to:

https://api.platica.mx/mcp

All you need is an active API Key .

Quick install

Use the buttons to install the server in one click. Cursor and VS Code open the client with the config ready; Claude Code and Antigravity copy the command/config to your clipboard (those clients don't support install links). After installing, replace the placeholder with your API Key .

Cursor

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json inside your project) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "platica": {
      "url": "https://api.platica.mx/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. In the bottom bar you'll see the platica server with a green dot and the list of available tools.

Claude Code

From your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http platica https://api.platica.mx/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"

Or add it manually in .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "platica": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://api.platica.mx/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop uses stdio in its local config, so the remote server connects through the mcp-remote bridge. Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "platica": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.platica.mx/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you have Claude Pro or higher, you can also add it via Settings → Connectors → Custom Connectors, pointing directly to https://api.platica.mx/mcp with your Bearer token.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

In your settings.json:

{
  "github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers": {
    "platica": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.platica.mx/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Antigravity

Antigravity doesn't support install links, so you configure it manually. Open the agent panel → "..." menu → MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config, and add to mcp_config.json (~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "platica": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.platica.mx/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pl_key_YOUR_KEY_ID_YOUR_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any other client

If your client supports the official Streamable HTTP transport (post-2025-03-26), point it to:

Verify the connection

Once configured, ask the agent to run tools/list or ask something like "what tools do you have available from the Platica MCP?". You should see all 40 tools listed, grouped by resource.
