Setup

Option 1: Remote server (Claude.ai — OAuth)

Connect directly in Claude's MCP integration settings using the server URL:

https://mcp.rize.io/mcp

Claude will handle OAuth authentication automatically — no API key needed.

Option 2: Local server (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Claude Code — stdio)

1. Get your API key

Sign up at rize.io and generate an API key from Settings > API.

2. Install

npm install -g rize-mcp-server

Or clone and build from source:

git clone https://github.com/rize-io/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

3. Configure your AI client
