2. Click the Customize navigation item on the top left.
3. Go to the Connectors tab.
4. Select the "+" button > Click "Add custom connector"

## **Claude Code**

Add the Intelligems MCP Server using the CLI:

```bash
# Add with HTTP transport (recommended)
claude mcp add --transport http intelligems https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp

# Or with SSE transport
claude mcp add --transport sse intelligems https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp/sse
```

When you first use the server, Claude Code will trigger a browser-based OAuth login. Complete the authentication flow to authorize access to your Intelligems account. Tokens are stored securely and refresh automatically.

Alternatively, you can add the server to your `.mcp.json` configuration file in your project root or `~/.claude.json` for user-wide access:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intelligems": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Management commands:**

```bash
claude mcp list           # View all configured servers
claude mcp get intelligems # Get server details
claude mcp remove intelligems # Remove the server
```
