Connecting to MCPX

MCPX supports fast local prototyping as well as robust containerized deployment. Depending on your environment and use case, you can connect to MCPX using one of the following approaches:

Run with Your MCP Client (for Development)​

If you're experimenting or building quickly, you can launch MCPX directly on your machine using Node.js.

  • Zero infrastructure
  • Fast iteration cycles
  • Ideal for building or debugging agents

Connect from Claude (for Agent Integration)​

Want to give Claude access to real tools via MCPX? This method lets Claude act as an agent that connects through your running MCPX instance.

  • Claude makes HTTP requests to your MCPX endpoint
  • Works with hosted tools or local proxies
  • Secure and scoped via access policies
