Claude

Follow these steps to add XO as a remote MCP server in Claude so you can use XO tools (deploy, start/stop apps, logs, KB updates, etc.) directly from Claude.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Claude with Custom Connectors enabled.

  • XO MCP server URL (see below).

  • (Optional) Any auth token/headers provided by the XO team.


XO MCP Connection Details

  • Transport: Remote MCP via Claude Custom Connector

  • Server URL (example from your XO dev env):

    https://dev-xo-mcp-sse-server-xo-nclz7e.hello-xo.nl/mcp
  • Auth: None by default (use if XO team provides).

  • Description (optional):

    XO MCP server allows updating and talking to knowledge bases

If your instance uses auth, keep your API keys/headers ready—you’ll enter them during the connector setup.


Step‑by‑Step (Claude Web)

1) Open Connector Settings

  1. Open Claude in your browser.

  2. Click your profile → Settings → Connectors.

2) Add a Custom Connector

  1. Scroll to the bottom and click Add custom connector.

  2. Paste the XO MCP Server URL:

    https://dev-xo-mcp-sse-server-xo-nclz7e.hello-xo.nl/mcp
  3. Click Add.

3) Complete Authentication (if required)

  • If your XO server requires auth, Claude will prompt you (OAuth, API key, etc.).

  • Follow the prompts to finish and establish a secure connection.

4) Verify the Connection & Use XO Tools

  • After connecting, the server’s resources/prompts appear in the paperclip (attachment) menu in a chat. Select what you want Claude to use in‑context.

  • Go back to Settings → Connectors → XO to enable/disable specific tools and set permissions.


What You’ll See After Connecting

Your XO server should expose tools similar to:

  • hello_connector

  • deploy_to_xo

  • start_xo_app / stop_xo_app / remove_xo_app

  • get_xo_app_logs

  • expose_xo_app

  • update_knowledgebase_using_text

  • ask_question

Use them by invoking tools within Claude, attaching resources via the paperclip, or allowing tool runs when Claude suggests them.
