Hosted MCP (No Setup)

Xplorr provides a hosted MCP endpoint at https://mcp.xplorr.io/mcp. This is the fastest way to connect Claude to your Xplorr data — no servers to run, no Docker, no configuration.

Setup

1. Get your API token

   Go to Settings → API Tokens in the Xplorr portal and create a new token.

2. Edit your Claude Desktop config

   Open the config file for your OS:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

3. Add the Xplorr MCP entry

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "xplorr": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector"],
         "url": "https://mcp.xplorr.io/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer xplorr_your_token_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   Replace xplorr_your_token_here with your actual API token.

4. Restart Claude Desktop

   The Xplorr tools will appear in Claude’s tool list.

Verify it’s working

Ask Claude:

“List my connected cloud accounts”

Claude should respond with your accounts pulled from Xplorr.

When to self-host instead

Consider self-hosting the MCP server if:

• You have compliance requirements that prevent outbound API calls
• You’re running Xplorr on-premises with a custom backend URL
• You need to run the MCP server inside a private network
