Connect Redreach to any other MCP client – Redreach

Redreach is a standard remote MCP server, so any client that speaks MCP over HTTP can connect. That includes Windsurf, Zed, Continue and a growing list of others, along with anything you build yourself.

What to look for in your client

Different tools use different words for the same thing. You are looking for wherever your client adds an MCP server, a connector, a remote server or a tool server.

Two things matter when you get there:

The transport must be HTTP or Streamable HTTP, not stdio and not SSE

The server address is https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp

The standard config

Most clients use a JSON file in this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redreach": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients that support browser sign-in open a window on Redreach the first time they connect. Sign in, click Approve, and you are done.

If your client can't do the browser sign-in

Use a token instead. Create one in Redreach under Account Settings → MCP, at the bottom of the page, then pass it as a header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redreach": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.redreach.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rr_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Both routes give you exactly the same access. The token route simply skips the browser step.

💡

Some clients name the fields differently. Gemini uses httpUrl instead of url, and Codex uses TOML with http_headers. If the server does not appear after you add it, a field name mismatch is the first thing to check in your client's own documentation.

Check it works

Whatever the client, ask it:

List my Redreach projects

If your projects come back, the connection is good and everything else will work.

Building your own integration?

If you are writing code rather than connecting an existing tool, the Redreach REST API is probably a better fit than MCP. Same account, same token, plain HTTP endpoints. See Using the Redreach REST API.
