Install the Skyvern MCP Server
Pick your client. Remote first: nothing to install, and you sign in with OAuth where the client supports it. Config shapes checked against each client's docs on 2026-10-25.
The URL also takes x-api-key as a header (see its docs), for clients without OAuth sign-in.
Run in a terminal, then /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in. Add --scope project to share it via .mcp.json. docs
claude mcp add --transport http skyvern https://api.skyvern.com/mcp/
Customize > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector, paste this URL and sign in. It syncs to Claude Desktop and mobile. docs
https://api.skyvern.com/mcp/
The free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors.

}Security notes
- The remote server runs at api.skyvern.com, hosted by Skyvern. You sign in with OAuth in clients that support it, or with x-api-key header where OAuth isn't available, and it acts with your account's permissions.
- It reads web pages, and a page can carry prompt-injection instructions. Keep approval prompts on and use a browser profile without your personal sign-ins.
