Authentication
Choose the auth option your MCP client supports:- Sign in from your MCP client: add the server by URL and sign in when prompted (for example
/mcpin Claude Code). No API key needed. - HookMyApp CLI (Claude Code):
hookmyapp loginconfigures the MCP server automatically, with no extra setup. - API key: create an API key in HookMyApp and pass it as a header.
Authorization: Bearer for bearer-token clients. Use X-API-Key when your MCP client lets you configure custom headers.
Connect
Sign in from your client
/mcp, pick hookmyapp, and approve the sign-in in your browser.
HookMyApp CLI (Claude Code)
If you use the HookMyApp CLI, MCP is already configured.hookmyapp login sets it up. To repair or re-run it:
hookmyapp CLI.
API key
Set your HookMyApp API key:Use X-API-Key instead
Codex CLI has no--header flag, so X-API-Key goes in ~/.codex/config.toml. For Cursor and Claude Code, swap the header.
Tools
If a tool asks you to reconnect the channel, reconnect once from the dashboard.
Examples
Ask your agent to check setup:Project MCP vs docs MCP
Use the CLI when your agent has terminal access. Use MCP when your agent supports MCP and should operate HookMyApp directly.
