Connect your AI assistant

Softr’s MCP server works with any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol. The setup is the same everywhere — point the client at one URL, then approve what it can reach in your workspace — but every tool buries that setting in a different place. This page has the exact route for each.

If you are not sure what the assistant will be able to do once it is connected, start with the Softr MCP server overview.

MCP server URL

https://mcp.softr.io/mcp

This is the only value you need for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and most other clients. There is nothing to install and no API key to paste.

Get the setup guide inside Softr

Softr Studio has the same instructions built in, with the server URL ready to copy. Click your workspace name at the top of the left sidebar, then API tokens or Use Softr.

Pick your tool and Softr walks you through it, screen by screen.

Set up your client

Pick your tool below. Every route ends on the same Softr authorization screen — see What you are approving.

claude mcp add --transport http softr https://mcp.softr.io/mcp

codex mcp add softr --url https://mcp.softr.io/mcp

[mcp_servers.softr]
url = "https://mcp.softr.io/mcp"

codex mcp login softr

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Softr": {
      "url": "https://mcp.softr.io/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "4d2556b2-cfc8-4608-bd76-8dbe7e605f68"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the client asks for a Client ID

Some clients can’t register themselves with Softr and ask you for OAuth credentials. Softr has pre-registered clients for the tools below:

Leave the Client Secret blank — Softr’s OAuth clients are public and don’t use one. For any other client, use a personal access token instead.

What you are approving

However you connect, the last step is the same Softr screen. You choose which projects the tool can reach and how much it can do in each of three areas, then click Allow.

The AI tool cannot request particular permissions in advance — you always pick them here, and you can change or revoke them later. For what each level allows, see Permissions.

Personal access tokens

Use a token when you are building your own MCP client, or connecting a tool that has no OAuth support.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "softr": {
      "url": "https://mcp.softr.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Managing and removing access

API tokens in your account menu is also where you take access away.

• Personal access tokens can be edited, regenerated or deleted.
• Authorized apps lists every tool you connected with OAuth, with a Revoke button for each. Revoking one invalidates its tokens immediately.

Connecting an app instead of a workspace

This page is for builders connecting their Softr workspace. If you want the users of one of your apps to work with it through their own AI assistant, with their own app permissions, that is a different server — see App MCP server.
