Connect Claude Code and other MCP clients

Claude's apps sign in through the browser with no token to copy (see the standard setup). Clients that authenticate with a request header instead - Claude Code in the terminal, and most other MCP clients - use an API token.

1. Create a token

Settings, then AI Connector - create a token and copy it. Treat it like a password: it acts as your AMZ Vault user, with your permissions, and every action it takes is audited under your name.

2. Add the connector

Claude Code (terminal):

claude mcp add --transport http amz-vault https://www.amz-vault.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your token>"

Clients that read an mcp.json (Cursor, VS Code, and others):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amz-vault": {
      "url": "https://www.amz-vault.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your token>" }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• Revoke any time from the same Settings page - revocation is immediate.
• One token per client is good hygiene; names on the tokens page tell them apart.
• Team members connect with their own AMZ Vault login's token and get their own granted permissions - read-only roles cannot stage changes through any client.
• Currently the workforce runs on Claude and ChatGPT; other clients can use the full read and staging toolset today.
