Install Om MCP in Claude Code

Add the hosted Om MCP to Claude Code and authenticate with your Om API key.

Claude Code can connect directly to remote HTTP MCP servers. For Om MCP, the simplest setup is to register the hosted MCP URL and send your Om API key in the x-api-key header.

claude mcp addBash
claude mcp add omtx https://agents.omtx.ai/mcp --transport http --header "x-api-key: $OM_API_KEY"
.mcp.jsonJSON
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omtx": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agents.omtx.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "${OM_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the install

1

Save the config

Keep the API key in environment variables and out of committed source files.

2

Restart Claude Code

Claude Code only reads new MCP servers on startup.

3

Confirm the server is attached

Use the MCP tool listing or ask for `om_status` inside the session.

Header auth

The hosted Om MCP accepts x-api-key and `Authorization: Bearer <OM_API_KEY>`. Claude Code can send custom headers cleanly, so the docs use x-api-key here because it matches the canonical Om API auth header.

Good first prompts

  • Use Om MCP to gather a target landscape for EGFR.
  • Show me what Data Access tools Om MCP exposes.
  • Launch a Hub run and wait until it completes.
