Getting started
Your first MCP project
From signup to a working MCP server connected to Claude in about five minutes.
1. Create a project
Open the dashboard and click New project. Give it a short name like weather or crm-bridge — this becomes part of your MCP URL.
2. Add a REST tool
Inside the project, click Add tool → From REST endpoint. Paste an OpenAPI URL or describe the endpoint manually:
- Method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- URL with path parameters in
{braces} - Headers and authentication
- A short description — this is what the model reads to decide when to call your tool
3. Test in the playground
Open the Chat tab. easyMCP runs a sandboxed model that can call any tool in the project. Ask it something natural — "what's the weather in Berlin?" — and watch it pick the right tool and arguments.
4. Connect a real client
Hit Connect in the top right. Copy the MCP URL and paste it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Your tools are now available everywhere.
