The Peaka MCP server works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol. Pick your client below for the right config snippet and a link to its “add an MCP server” instructions. Two configuration patterns appear throughout this page:
  • Remote (recommended). Point the client at https://mcp.peaka.studio/mcp and authenticate via OAuth. Some clients accept a remote URL natively; others use the mcp-remote bridge to expose it as a stdio server.
  • Local (NPM). Run @peaka/mcp-server-peaka via npx and authenticate with PEAKA_API_KEY.
For everything else (auth modes, env vars), see Authentication.

Any other client

Any MCP-compliant client can connect. Use one of the patterns above as a template:
  • If the client supports remote MCP natively, give it https://mcp.peaka.studio/mcp.
  • If it only supports stdio, wrap the URL with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.peaka.studio/mcp.
  • If you’d rather use an API key, run npx -y @peaka/mcp-server-peaka@latest with PEAKA_API_KEY in the environment.
