# Other Clients

> Connect any MCP-compatible client to your Givebutter account using the remote server URL.

Most MCP clients can connect to a remote server directly. In your client, find the option to add a remote or custom MCP server (it may be called a custom connector, custom app, or server), and enter this URL:

```
https://mcp.givebutter.com/mcp
```

Your client opens a browser window so you can sign in to Givebutter and approve access. You don't need an API key or client ID. If your client asks for a transport type, choose Streamable HTTP.

## JSON configuration

If your client uses a JSON configuration file, add Givebutter as a URL-based server:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "givebutter": {
      "url": "https://mcp.givebutter.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Some clients name this key `serverUrl` or `httpUrl`, or expect `"type": "http"` alongside it. Check your client's MCP documentation.

## Clients that only support local servers

Use this only if your client can't connect to a remote URL and only runs local (stdio) servers. The open-source [`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote) bridge runs on your computer and forwards requests to Givebutter. It requires Node.js 18 or later.

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "givebutter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.givebutter.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

If your client accepts a URL, enter the URL instead.
