Connect Claude

Claude Code can connect directly to hosted PoYo MCP. Claude Desktop can use the local stdio bridge.

Claude Code

Set POYO_API_KEY, then run:

claude mcp add --transport http poyo \
  https://api.poyo.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $POYO_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop

Node.js 20 or later is required. Add this server to the Claude Desktop developer configuration, then restart Claude:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "poyo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@poyoapi/mcp"],
      "env": { "POYO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

This local configuration contains a credential. Do not commit or share it.

On native Windows, Claude Code can also use the stdio bridge:

$env:POYO_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
claude mcp add poyo --scope user -- cmd /c npx -y @poyoapi/mcp

Verify

Ask Claude: Use PoYo to check my account and list image-generation models. For typed model tools and usage examples, see PoYo MCP.
