Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http stat-api https://api.stat-api.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"
JSON config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most other clients)
{
"mcpServers": {
"stat-api": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.stat-api.com/mcp",

}
}
}
Omit the headers block to connect without credentials — the catalog tools still work, and the server tells you where to get a key when you call a data tool.
