- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below

For local use with Claude Desktop, add the npx command @vapi-ai/mcp-server to claude_desktop_config.json. For remote access, connect to https://mcp.vapi.ai/sse over SSE transport with the API key as a bearer token.

- Connect to https://mcp.vapi.ai/sse from any MCP client using SSE Transport
- Include your Vapi API key as a bearer token in the request headers
