Client Setup

ChatGPT

Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan required — Developer Mode isn't available on the free tier.

By default, ChatGPT connectors only get search/fetch-style access. Running a full multi-tool server like DoableClaw's needs Developer mode, a setting you turn on once per account.

1. Click your name in the bottom-left corner → Settings.
2. Open Plugins and turn on Developer mode. This unlocks full tool-calling for custom MCP connectors, not just search/fetch.
3. Back in Plugins, click Browse, then + / Add custom.
4. Fill in:
   • Name: Doable Claw
   • Description: AI research on companies and industries — one MCP tool per research domain, powered by DoableClaw.
   • Connection: URL → https://ikshan-be-prod-6gbup6suoq-el.a.run.app/mcp/research-v4
5. Check "I understand and want to continue", then click Create.
6. A sign-in modal opens — sign in with your DoableClaw account to connect it. No API key or token to paste here; ChatGPT and DoableClaw handle auth between themselves.
7. Open a new chat — Doable Claw is ready to call.

The exact wording of these settings shifts as OpenAI iterates on the connectors UI — if a step doesn't match what you see, look for "Developer mode" under Plugins settings, or "custom connector" wherever connectors are added.

Claude

Works on Claude.ai (web), Claude Desktop, and Claude Code — two ways to connect.

Option A — Connectors UI (Claude.ai / Desktop)

1. Open Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Paste the server URL: https://ikshan-be-prod-6gbup6suoq-el.a.run.app/mcp/research-v4.
4. Claude's connector UI is built around OAuth. If it doesn't offer a place to paste a bearer token, use Option B below instead.
5. Once added, enable the connector from the tools (plug) icon in the message composer.

Option B — Config file (Claude Desktop)

1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config (or find claude_desktop_config.json directly).
2. Add the block below, then restart Claude Desktop fully.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doableclaw-research": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://ikshan-be-prod-6gbup6suoq-el.a.run.app/mcp/research-v4",
        "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${DOABLECLAW_MCP_TOKEN}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Set DOABLECLAW_MCP_TOKEN in your shell environment before launching Claude Desktop, or hardcode the token in place of ${DOABLECLAW_MCP_TOKEN} (avoid committing it anywhere).

Gemini

Custom remote MCP servers connect through the Gemini CLI today — the consumer gemini.google.com app only offers Google's own curated connectors.

1. Install the Gemini CLI if you haven't already.
2. Open (or create) ~/.gemini/settings.json — or a project-local .gemini/settings.json to scope it to one project.
3. Add an mcpServers block using the same mcp-remote bridge as Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doableclaw-research": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://ikshan-be-prod-6gbup6suoq-el.a.run.app/mcp/research-v4",
        "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${DOABLECLAW_MCP_TOKEN}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. Set DOABLECLAW_MCP_TOKEN in your environment, then restart the CLI.
5. Run /mcp inside a Gemini CLI session to confirm doableclaw-research is connected and list its tools.

Grok

xAI is still rolling custom MCP connectors out across plans, so this flow moves faster than the others — check grok.com's own docs if a step below has shifted.

1. In grok.com, open Settings → Connectors (sometimes labeled Integrations or Tools).
2. Choose Add custom MCP server.
3. Fill in:
   • Server URL: https://ikshan-be-prod-6gbup6suoq-el.a.run.app/mcp/research-v4
   • Auth header: Authorization = Bearer <your dcresearch_... token>
4. Save, then enable DoableClaw Research from the tools menu in a conversation.
