Step 2

Connect your AI assistant

Pick the one you use. Each connects a little differently.

Claude.ai

OAuth

Browser-based. No tokens to manage.

  1. In your Tycana dashboard, go to OAuth Clients and create a new client.
  2. In Claude.ai, add Tycana as a remote MCP server with the URL https://app.tycana.com/mcp
  3. Approve the consent screen and you’re connected.

Claude Code

CLI

Terminal-based. One command.

  1. In your Tycana dashboard, generate a Personal Token.
  2. Run:
claude mcp add tycana \
  --transport streamable-http \
  https://app.tycana.com/mcp \
  --header "authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Claude Desktop

Config

Desktop app. Edit one config file.

  1. Generate a personal token from your dashboard.
  2. Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tycana": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://app.tycana.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Config location varies by OS.

Other apps

MCP

ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible app.

  1. Generate a personal token from your dashboard.
  2. Configure with server URL https://app.tycana.com/mcp and your token as a Bearer header.
Step 3

Start talking

No commands. No special syntax. Just talk to your AI.

“Add a task to finish the client proposal by Thursday”
“Remind me to book the dentist for the kids”
“What should I focus on next?”
“The API migration is blocking the mobile release — track that”

Troubleshooting

Authentication failed

For personal tokens, check that it includes the tyk_ prefix. For OAuth, verify your Client ID and Secret. Generate new credentials from your dashboard at any time.

Connection refused

Make sure the URL is https://app.tycana.com/mcp (not /api/mcp or other variations).

Tools not appearing

Restart your AI assistant after adding the configuration. Claude Desktop requires a full restart.

Token expired

Personal tokens are valid for 90 days. Generate a new one from your dashboard and update your configuration.
