Add Subbly as a custom connector

One connector works in Claude on the web, Desktop and mobile, and in Cowork. It needs request headers, a beta Anthropic is rolling out to more accounts.

1. 1

   Open Connectors and add a custom connector

   In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds it under Organization settings, Connectors.

2. 2

   Name it Subbly and paste the server URL

   https://mcp.subbly.dev/mcp

3. 3

   Choose No sign-in, then add your key as a request header

   Under Request headers, add X-API-KEY with your key as the value. No Request headers section? Your account doesn't have the beta yet, so use Claude Desktop's config file below.

   X-API-KEY: YOUR_SUBBLY_API_KEY

Or use Claude Desktop's config file

Claude Desktop starts local programs from its config file, so a small bridge (mcp-remote) carries your key to Subbly's server.

1. 1

   Install Node.js 18 or later

   The bridge runs with npx, which comes with Node.js (nodejs.org).

2. 2

   Open the config file

   In Claude Desktop, open Settings, then Developer, and choose Edit Config. Merge this into mcpServers, keeping any servers already there.

   ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

           "SUBBLY_API_KEY": "YOUR_SUBBLY_API_KEY"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. 3

   Restart Claude Desktop

   Quit it fully, then reopen it. Subbly shows in a chat's + menu, under Connectors.
