Using Hydracept for Claude
The directory connector is https://api.hydracept.com/mcp/claude.
When Claude asks you to sign in, use your Hydracept account and choose Allow.
That connection is OAuth. Do not paste a Hydracept API key.
This URL rejects API keys.
The directory connection includes text, reasoning, structured execution, jobs, quoting, and receipts. It does not generate images, video, audio, or 3D.
The full custom connector is a separate install at https://api.hydracept.com/mcp.
That install uses a Hydracept API key as a bearer token, and it is not the directory listing.
Anthropic does not verify, endorse, approve, or sponsor it.
Installing it does not change the directory connection.
Add it only when you need image, video, audio, 3D, or the rest of the public catalog.
