Connect a client

The PROlinks MCP server uses the Streamable HTTP transport. It authenticates every request with a bearer token in the Authorization header. In the examples below, replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the token from Settings > API Tokens.

Warning: Do not commit a configuration file that contains your token to a public repository.

Claude Code

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http prolinks https://prolinks.pro/mcp/prolinks \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

To make the server available in all your projects, add --scope user. Run claude mcp list to check the connection.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop connects to a remote server with a custom header through the mcp-remote package. You need Node.js on your computer.

1. Open Settings > Developer in Claude Desktop.
2. Click Edit Config.
3. Add the prolinks server to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prolinks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://prolinks.pro/mcp/prolinks",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${PROLINKS_AUTH}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROLINKS_AUTH": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop.

The header has no space after the colon. Some systems split the argument at the space, so the token goes in the env value instead.

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or to .cursor/mcp.json for one project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prolinks": {
      "url": "https://prolinks.pro/mcp/prolinks",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "prolinks": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://prolinks.pro/mcp/prolinks",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Other clients

Any client that supports remote MCP servers with custom headers can connect. Use these values:

Some clients connect to remote servers only with OAuth. The PROlinks MCP server does not support OAuth at this time, so these clients cannot connect directly.

Check the connection

Ask your assistant to "list my PROlinks organizations". If the connection is correct, the assistant shows your organizations. If the client shows a 401 error, the token is missing, incorrect or deleted. Read Limits and errors for the other errors.
