Set up the MCP

Claude on the web, desktop or phone

Add it once on claude.ai and it appears in the desktop and phone apps too. Works on every plan, Free included. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it for everyone.

1. Open Customize, then Connectors
2. Click Add, then Add custom connector
3. Name it Pacing Tools and paste the link

   https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp

4. Click Continue, sign in to Pacing Tools and click Allow
5. In a chat, open the plus menu, then Connectors, and turn Pacing Tools on

Ask Claude for your recent activities. If it answers with your own numbers, you are set.

Rather use a key? In step 4, choose No sign-in and add this header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY

Claude Code

Needs Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. If you already added Pacing Tools on claude.ai, it is already here. Otherwise, run this with your key:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user pacing https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

Or paste this into a session and let Claude do it:

Add the Pacing Tools MCP server to Claude Code, for all my projects: name pacing, transport http,
URL https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp, header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY".
Then call its get_recent_activities tool once to confirm it answers.

Check it with claude mcp list, or /mcp inside a session. The key is saved in your Claude Code settings, so keep that file private.

ChatGPT on the web

Needs Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Education.

1. Open Settings, then Security and login, and turn on developer mode
2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click the plus, and create an app for an MCP server
3. Paste the link as the MCP server URL

   https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp

4. Choose OAuth
5. Sign in to Pacing Tools and click Allow
6. Turn Pacing Tools on in a new chat and ask for your recent activities

Not yet confirmed in the ChatGPT phone app. If a step looks different for you, tell us at hi@pacing.tools.

ChatGPT desktop and Codex

Needs Plus or higher and a key. What you add here works in Codex and in Work chats, not in regular ChatGPT chats. For those, use the web steps above.

1. In the desktop app, open Settings, then MCP servers
2. Select Add server
3. Name it pacing, choose Streamable HTTP, and paste the link

   https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp

4. Add the header

   Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY

5. Save, then Restart

Using the Codex command line or the IDE extension instead? Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml, then restart Codex and run /mcp to see it:

[mcp_servers.pacing]
url = "https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "PACING_MCP_KEY"

This reads the key from the PACING_MCP_KEY environment variable. To write the key into the file instead:

[mcp_servers.pacing]
url = "https://mcp.pacing.tools/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
