One MCP connection for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.

2. Name it ContextGate and paste this URL:

   https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

3. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to ContextGate.

4. In a chat, turn ContextGate on from the + menu → Connectors. Cowork and the desktop app use the same connectors.

On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner first adds the connector under Admin settings → Connectors, then each member clicks Connect. Free plans allow one custom connector.

Claude's own instructions

1. In ChatGPT settings, open Apps & Connectors (or Connectors) → Advanced and turn on Developer mode.

2. Create a connector, choose OAuth, and paste this URL:

   https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

3. Sign in to ContextGate when ChatGPT redirects you, then pick the connector in a chat.

Developer mode is a beta on paid ChatGPT plans. On Business, Enterprise and Edu an admin turns it on for the workspace. OpenAI moves these settings from time to time.

ChatGPT's own instructions

1. In Copilot Studio, open your agent's Tools page and select Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol.

2. Enter ContextGate as the Server name, a short Server description, and this Server URL:

   https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

3. Under authentication choose OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic discovery, then select Create.

4. On Add tool, select Create a new connection, sign in to ContextGate when asked, then select Add to agent.

If sign-in doesn't start, choose API key instead: type Query, parameter name api_key, and a key from API keys in your ContextGate workspace. A data policy on Power Platform connectors also applies to MCP servers. These steps follow Microsoft's documentation, and Microsoft moves these settings from time to time.

Microsoft Copilot's own instructions

1. Run this in a terminal:

   claude mcp add --transport http contextgate https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2. Start Claude Code, run /mcp, choose contextgate and sign in to ContextGate.

Claude Code's own instructions

1. Click Add to Cursor, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "contextgate": {
         "url": "https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

2. In Cursor Settings → MCP, sign in to ContextGate when Cursor asks.

Cursor's own instructions

1. Click Add to VS Code, or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

   {
     "servers": {
       "contextgate": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

2. Start the server when VS Code asks, sign in to ContextGate, and use it from Copilot Chat in Agent mode.

GitHub Copilot's own instructions

1. Run this in a terminal:

   codex mcp add contextgate --url https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2. Then sign in to ContextGate:

   codex mcp login contextgate

Codex's own instructions

1. Run this in a terminal:

   gemini mcp add --transport http contextgate https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2. In Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth contextgate and sign in to ContextGate.

Gemini CLI's own instructions

1. Add a remote (HTTP) MCP server with this URL:

   https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2. Apps that support MCP sign-in ask you to sign in to ContextGate the first time they connect.

3. An app that can't sign in can use a workspace API key instead: create one under API keys and add ?api_key=<your key> to the URL.
