Any MCP Client

The distribute MCP server uses stdio transport. Configure your client to run:

Configuration Options

CLI flags take precedence over environment variables.

Verify Installation

After installing, ask your AI client:

"Check my distribute connection"

The AI will call the whoami tool and return your user ID and org ID.
