# Other MCP clients

## 1. Check client support

Your client needs remote HTTP MCP support and either OAuth or a supported way to supply an authorization header. Inspect its connection settings and tool list first; reuse a working Simplified entry.

## 2. Add the endpoint

Create a remote server entry named Simplified with:

```text
https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp
```

Use the client's own configuration format. A JSON file written for Cursor or another client is not automatically valid everywhere.

## 3. Authenticate

Complete OAuth if supported. Otherwise, create a key in [Simplified API settings](https://app.simplified.com/settings/api-keys) and use the client's secure credential mechanism to supply:

```text
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

Do not send the placeholder as a real credential. See [MCP authentication](/mcp/authentication) for account and teamspace scope.

## 4. Add workflow instructions if supported

If the client supports skills, follow its supported installation process for the [Simplified skills repository](https://github.com/celeryhq/simplified-ai). Otherwise use the [workflow guides](/skills/what-are-skills) as reference material. Be explicit about whether instructions are persistent or available only in the current chat.

## Verify the connection

Start a new conversation if the client has not loaded the new tools. Ask:

> Use Simplified to identify my connected workspace and list its teamspaces. Do not create or change anything.

The assistant should call `api_getWorkspaceInfo` and `api_listTeamspaces`, then report the workspace and available teamspaces. Choose the intended teamspace before starting work. A saved server entry or a successful skills installation alone does not verify tool access.

Next, follow the [MCP quickstart](/mcp/quickstart) to prepare a social draft. For a read-only first task, ask the assistant to list your brand kits. Social accounts are only needed for social tasks; an empty account list does not mean the connection failed.

## Troubleshooting

If the client cannot complete remote authentication, inspect the exact error and its documented transport requirements. Do not change the endpoint to a guessed URL or disable security checks. Use one of the [dedicated platform guides](/setup) if your client is listed there.

For file workflows, check whether the client can read and upload bytes. Remote MCP alone does not give the server access to your local filesystem; see [Assets and uploads](/mcp/assets-and-uploads).
