Install
Claude Desktop
Easiest — Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector, paste:
https://gponcrussdahcdyrlhcr.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp-server
Power users — Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json only accepts stdio commands, so use the mcp-remote bridge. Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vocab-voyage": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://gponcrussdahcdyrlhcr.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
To use a personal token, add the Authorization header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"vocab-voyage": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://gponcrussdahcdyrlhcr.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp-server",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer vv_mcp_REPLACE_ME"
]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The 7 tools appear in the tool tray. Transport is Streamable HTTP (modern); legacy SSE is not used.
