01 · Install Pipes Hub

before you install - you'll need

Set PIPESHUB_INSTANCE_URL, PIPESHUB_CLIENT_ID, PIPESHUB_BEARER_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pipeshub-ai-mcp-server --transport http https://{instance_host}/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeshub-ai-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://{instance_host}/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What is Pipes Hub?

This guide covers how to connect PipesHub's remote MCP server to Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Claude.ai (Web), and LibreChat using static OAuth credentials or bearer tokens.

Is Pipes Hub still maintained?

How do I install Pipes Hub?

Run `npx -y @pipeshub-ai/mcp`. The README documents 3 environment variables (PIPESHUB_INSTANCE_URL, PIPESHUB_CLIENT_ID, PIPESHUB_BEARER_TOKEN) to set first. Set PIPESHUB_INSTANCE_URL, PIPESHUB_CLIENT_ID, PIPESHUB_BEARER_TOKEN before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
