Terminal command

Adds the hosted Vee3 MCP server with your API key header.

claude mcp add --transport http vee3 https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp --header "VEE3_API_KEY: ${VEE3_API_KEY}"
Manual setup via .mcp.jsonShow
  1. In your project root, create .mcp.json if it does not exist yet.
  2. Add the vee3 entry under mcpServers. If you already have other servers, merge this block into the existing object.
  3. Set your API key in the VEE3_API_KEY header, or export VEE3_API_KEY and keep ${VEE3_API_KEY} in the config.
  4. Restart Claude Code, or run /mcp in a session to confirm vee3 is connected.

Project-scoped config can be committed for your team. Do not commit literal API keys - use an environment variable instead.

.mcp.json

Paste into your project root, or merge the vee3 block into an existing file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vee3": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "VEE3_API_KEY": "${VEE3_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the connection

Run /mcp in a Claude Code session and confirm vee3 is listed. Ask the agent to call meta-tools.list_groups or search the catalog with meta-tools.search. If tools return data, the connection is working.

Customize which tools appear

From the dashboard, open Customize MCP to turn capability groups on or off. Changes apply to your MCP server on the next connection.
