How do I connect Meow to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or VS Code?

Last updated: April 13, 2026

The Meow MCP server works with any MCP-compatible AI client. Here are the setup instructions for the most common tools. For full documentation, visit developer.meow.com/mcp-server.

Note: If you're an existing Meow customer connecting an AI to your account, use https://mcp.meow.com with OAuth. If you're setting up a new account via an AI agent, use https://mcp.meow.com/cli — see How do I open a bank account using an AI agent? for details.

Claude Code

Run the following command to add the Meow MCP server:

New account:

claude mcp add --transport http meow https://mcp.meow.com/cli

Existing account (requires OAuth):

claude mcp add --transport http meow https://mcp.meow.com

After adding the server, authenticate:

claude /mcp

Claude.ai

Claude.ai requires network egress to be enabled before connecting to MCP servers.

  1. Go to Settings > Capabilities in Claude.ai.

  2. Toggle Allow network egress to All domains.

  3. Add the Meow MCP server using https://mcp.meow.com and authenticate via OAuth.

Cursor

Add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file, or click the install button in the Meow developer docs:

New account:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "meow": {      "url": "https://mcp.meow.com/cli"    }  }}

Existing account (requires OAuth):

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "meow": {      "url": "https://mcp.meow.com"    }  }}
