Our remote MCP server isn’t compatible with the method Free users of Claude use to add MCP servers.

​
Pro, Max, Team & Enterprise (Claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter: Integration name: Kernel, Integration URL: https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp, then click Add.
  3. In Settings → Connectors, click Connect next to Kernel to launch OAuth and approve.
  4. In chat, click Search and tools and enable the Kernel tools if needed.
On Claude for Work (Team/Enterprise), only Primary Owners or Owners can enable custom connectors for the org. After it’s configured, each user still needs to go to Settings → Connectors and click Connect to authorize it for their account.
