Connect Claude / ChatGPT
Use this page when connecting Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or ChatGPT to NotiQ MCP.
These apps use OAuth. Your NotiQ API key is not entered in Claude’s Advanced settings — you paste it on NotiQ’s consent page after you click Connect.
Before you start
- Create an API key at app.notiq.io/api-mcp (keep it ready — shown once on create).
- MCP URL:
https://mcp.notiq.io
What to type in Claude
In Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Name | NotiQ (any label is fine) |
| Remote MCP server URL | https://mcp.notiq.io |
| Advanced → OAuth Client ID | Leave blank — skip Advanced |
| Advanced → OAuth Client Secret | Leave blank — skip Advanced |
Then click Add, then Connect.
After Connect
A NotiQ browser page opens (“Connect NotiQ to your AI assistant”).
- Paste your
sk_…key. - Click Authorize.
- You’re redirected back to Claude — the connector is ready.
Do not do this
| Don’t put this… | …in this Claude field |
|---|---|
Your API key (sk_…) | OAuth Client ID or Secret |
The text X-API-Key | OAuth Client ID |
Authorization or Bearer … | OAuth Client ID |
Those Advanced fields are for a rare pre-registered OAuth app identity. They are not NotiQ request headers. Filling them with a key breaks the connection.
Cursor users
Cursor does not use this OAuth flow. Use the mcp.json snippet on MCP with headers.X-API-Key instead.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Claude asks for Client ID | Leave Advanced empty and Connect again |
| Consent page rejects the key | Create a fresh key on /api-mcp and paste it on the consent page |
| Tools fail after connect | Confirm the connector is enabled in the chat (“+” → Connectors) |
