Questions
What do I need before connecting MCP?
A Platform API key from Settings → API Integration and an active subscription. The MCP server is https://mcp.makeugc.ai.
Why does claude mcp add fail with an unknown flag?
Put --transport and --header before the server name. Do not put a raw url field in Claude Desktop config — use Custom Connector or the mcp-remote JSON shown here.
