This guide will show you how to setup the Flowglad MCP server.
Some AI tools don’t allow the use of remote MCP servers. While Flowglad only has a remote MCP server, we detail a simple workaround below.
You’ll need a Flowglad API key to authenticate to the MCP server which you can get from settings.

​
Remote Server Setup

The Flowglad MCP server can be found at the following URL: 
https://app.flowglad.com/api/mcp
Open Cursor’s mcp.json file through the command palette with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P or through Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP and paste in the following under mcpServers. Make sure to replace <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY> with your Flowglad API key.
mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowglad": {
      "url": "https://app.flowglad.com/api/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY>"
        }
      }
  }
}
Run the following command (make sure to replace <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY> with your API key):
claude mcp add --transport http flowglad https://app.flowglad.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY>"
You can check that this worked by first running claude, to open Claude Code, and then use the /mcp command to see a list of MCP servers that Claude Code has access to, which should now include Flowglad’s.

​
Local Server Workaround

This workaround uses mcp-proxy to allow tools that prohibit the use of remote MCP servers, like Claude Desktop, to utilize Flowglad’s remote MCP server.

​
1. Install mcp-proxy

First, you’ll need to install either uv or pipx which are package managers for Python if you don’t have them installed already. After you have one installed, you can find the mcp-proxy installation documentation here. After you’ve installed mcp-proxy, run which mcp-proxy to print the path of the mcp-proxy binary and copy it. We’ll need this path in the following steps.

​
2. Add MCP Config to Your Tool

Here’s an example of a Claude Desktop config using this workaround. You can edit this config under Settings > Developer
Make sure to replace <MCP_PROXY_PATH> with the path you got from running which mcp-proxy above and <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY> with your Flowglad API key.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowglad": {
      "command": "<MCP_PROXY_PATH>",
      "args": [
        "--transport",
        "streamablehttp",
        "-H",
        "Authorization",
        "Bearer <FLOWGLAD_API_KEY>",
        "-H",
        "Accept",
        "application/json, text/event-stream",
        "https://app.flowglad.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
