Getting an API Key
- Sign in at quackr.io
- Open your profile page
- Copy the API key from the API section
Install via npm
The quackr-mcp package is a thin stdio
launcher that bridges any stdio MCP client to the hosted Quackr endpoint. It needs
Node.js 18+ — no separate install required, npx fetches it on first run.
{
"mcpServers": {
"quackr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "quackr-mcp"],
"env": {
"QUACKR_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
You can also pass the key as a flag instead of an env var: npx -y quackr-mcp --api-key YOUR_API_KEY_HERE.
Claude Code Setup
Remote (recommended) — connect directly to the hosted endpoint. Add to your
~/.claude.json (or a project .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"quackr": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.quackr.io/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Or via the CLI:
claude mcp add --transport http quackr https://mcp.quackr.io/ --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
Claude Desktop Setup
Claude Desktop's JSON config only supports local (stdio) servers. Use the npm
launcher (see Install via npm) by adding the npx quackr-mcp
config above to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.
Alternatively, add Quackr as a remote connector: Settings → Connectors → Add
custom connector, enter https://mcp.quackr.io/, and add an Authorization
header with the value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
Other MCP Clients
Any client supporting remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers with custom headers works. Point it at https://mcp.quackr.io/ and pass your key via the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header.
REST API
Quackr also exposes a full REST API at https://api.quackr.io/ — see api.quackr.io/swagger.json for the full spec. Same x-api-key auth.

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.
