Connect a client

Add EmitKit to Claude Code or any MCP client that can send a request header.

Any MCP client that supports remote (Streamable HTTP) servers with a custom request header can connect. Create an API key for the Project the agent should write to, then configure the client.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http emitkit https://api.emitkit.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer emitkit_REPLACEWITHKEY"

Other clients

Most clients accept a JSON server entry like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "emitkit": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.emitkit.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer emitkit_REPLACEWITHKEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Connectors that can only sign in with OAuth can’t connect yet: EmitKit’s MCP server accepts API keys only.

A request without a key is rejected with 401. A wrong key still lets the client connect and list tools, because EmitKit checks the key when a tool is called: if the first tool call returns an authentication error, check the key.
