What you need, and what works where
You need an AI client with a place to add an MCP connector. Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code), Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Cursor and VS Code all have one. A product without that setting can’t connect, on any plan. All twelve tools work in every one of them, chat included. The one difference is the upload step: a larger file or an image is sent to an upload address, which needs a client that can run a command on your machine.
Where a cell says no, upload the file or image in the Copyleaks app, then ask your agent to read the finished scan.
Which Claude am I using?
Claude Desktop has three tabs - Chat, Cowork and Code - and the tab decides the column above.
Two tells. The Code tab shows a terminal and file diffs; the Cowork tab shows a task plan and a folder you chose; Chat shows a conversation and nothing else.
The endpoint
The endpoint names its own authorization server, so there is nothing to configure by hand.
