Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http faxend https://faxend.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_FAXEND_API_KEY"
Cursor and other clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"faxend": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://faxend.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_FAXEND_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
claude.ai and ChatGPT custom connectors take only a URL: use https://faxend.com/mcp?key=YOUR_FAXEND_API_KEY and keep
that URL private. Step-by-step instructions for each client are on https://faxend.com/mcp/.
Keys can be revoked any time on the API keys page.
Pricing
Each faxed page (and a cover page) uses one page from your Faxend plan. Failed faxes are refunded automatically. Pages cannot be bought through the assistant; see https://faxend.com/pricing/.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
