Manual setup required. The maintainer's config contains paths only you know - edit the placeholders below before adding it to Claude Code.

Prepare the server locally

Run this once before adding it to Claude Code.

git clone https://github.com/DaccordProject/accordserver-mcp
cd accordserver-mcp

Then follow the repository README for any remaining dependency or build steps.

Register it in Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" accord-mcp http://localhost:39099/mcp

Replace any placeholder paths in the command with the real path on your machine.

Accord MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients for the Accord ecosystem. This package provides two distinct MCP clients:

Client	Connects to	Auth	Scope	Use case
Server MCP (`accord-mcp`)	accordserver (port 39099)	Server-wide `MCP_API_KEY`	Full admin	Server automation, bots, data seeding
Client MCP (`daccord-mcp`)	daccord desktop app (port 39101)	Per-account bearer token	User's permissions + UI control	Personal AI assistant, UI auditing, testing

Prerequisites

Server MCP

An Accord server running with MCP_API_KEY set
The server's base URL (e.g. http://localhost:39099)

Client MCP

The daccord desktop app running with Developer Mode enabled
MCP Server toggled on in App Settings > Developer
The bearer token from the Developer settings page

Agent Setup

Server MCP (accordserver)

Accord exposes a streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp. The examples below assume your server is at http://localhost:39099 -- replace with your actual URL and API key.

Claude Code

Add a .mcp.json file to your project root (or ~/.claude/.mcp.json for global config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "accord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39099/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or add it interactively:

claude mcp add accord --transport http http://localhost:39099/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"

Codex (OpenAI)

Create or edit codex.json in your project root (or ~/.codex/codex.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "accord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39099/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenCode

Add to your opencode.json (project root or ~/.config/opencode/config.json):

{
  "mcp": {
    "accord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39099/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "accord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39099/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Client MCP (daccord desktop app)

The daccord desktop app exposes a local MCP server on port 39101 when Developer Mode is enabled. This provides user-scoped access plus UI control, navigation, and screenshot capabilities.

Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "daccord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39101/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DACCORD_MCP_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or add it interactively:

claude mcp add daccord --transport http http://localhost:39101/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DACCORD_MCP_TOKEN"

Using Both Together

An AI agent can use both MCP servers simultaneously -- server MCP for admin tasks and data seeding, client MCP for navigating the UI and visually verifying results:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "accord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39099/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"
      }
    },
    "daccord": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39101/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DACCORD_MCP_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP-compatible client

Both endpoints speak standard MCP over streamable HTTP:

Server: http://your-server:39099/mcp + Authorization: Bearer <MCP_API_KEY>
Client: http://localhost:39101/mcp + Authorization: Bearer <DACCORD_TOKEN>
Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST)
Protocol version: 2025-03-26
