OpenGraph MCP Server for Claude Code

One-Command Installation

Claude Code (the CLI) has built-in support for adding MCP servers. Install OpenGraph MCP with:

claude mcp add --transport http opengraph https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp

The first time you use it, a browser tab opens so you can sign in with your OpenGraph.io account — no App ID needed.

Using an API key instead

Prefer a static key over signing in?

claude mcp add --transport http --header "x-app-id: YOUR_OPENGRAPH_APP_ID" opengraph https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp

Command Breakdown

Here's what each part of the command does:

• claude mcp add – Claude Code's built-in command to add MCP servers
• --transport http – Connect to the hosted server over HTTP
• opengraph – The name you'll use to reference this MCP server
• https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp – The hosted server URL
• --header "x-app-id: ..." – Optional: authenticate with a static API key instead of signing in

Verifying Installation

After adding the MCP server, list your configured servers:

claude mcp list

You should see opengraph in the list.

Then test it with a prompt:

claude "Use the opengraph tools to unfurl https://github.com and tell me the page title"

Managing MCP Servers

Remove the server

claude mcp remove opengraph

Switch from an API key to signing in

Remove and re-add without the header:

claude mcp remove opengraph
claude mcp add --transport http opengraph https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp
