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.
