Connect a client

Wrenbase’s MCP server is remote, so there’s nothing to install. Any client that can connect to a remote MCP server works: you give it the server URL and your key, and the client discovers the available tools automatically.

What you need

Two things:

  • The server URL: https://developers.wrenbase.com/mcp/v1
  • Your API key, as a bearer token. Add it as an Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer wb_...

You’ll find both of these on the Developer → API Keys page when you create a key. If you don’t have a key yet, see Get your key.

Adding it to your client

Most MCP clients ask for a remote server’s URL and a header or token. Put the URL and the bearer header in wherever your client keeps its MCP server settings. Once connected, the client lists the Wrenbase tools it can call, and you can start asking it to do things in plain language.

Wrenbase records which client connected

When your client connects, it tells Wrenbase its name and version, which show up next to the key on your API Keys page. That makes it easy to see which key is being used from where, and to revoke one you no longer recognize.

  • Get your key: create the key you’ll paste in
  • Tools: what your client can do once connected
