Connect Rshift MCP in Claude Code

Claude Code can use MCP servers to access the tools exposed by a Rshift workspace. This is useful when working from a local project terminal with brand, content, monitoring, or analytics tools.

Before you start

  1. Open the AI page for the current workspace in Rshift.

  2. Confirm that MCP is enabled.

  3. Copy the MCP URL, for example https://mcp.rshift.com/pentair/.

  4. Copy the full MCP key. If the page does not show the full value, rotate the key first.

Add the server

Run this in your terminal. Replace <workspace> with your workspace slug and <MCP_KEY> with the full key shown in Rshift:

claude mcp add --transport http rshift https://mcp.rshift.com/<workspace>/ \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <MCP_KEY>"

For example, if the workspace is pentair, the URL is https://mcp.rshift.com/pentair/.

To inspect the server after adding it, run:

claude mcp list

Verify the connection

  1. Open or restart a Claude Code session.

  2. Run /mcp inside Claude Code and confirm that rshift is connected.

  3. Check that Rshift tools appear, such as get-guidelines, check-consistency, or generate-ad-copy.

  4. Test with a read-only tool first.

Common issues

  • 401 or unauthorized: the key is wrong, the Bearer prefix is missing, or the key was rotated.

  • The add command succeeded but no tools appear: reopen the Claude Code session, then run /mcp.

  • No tools appear: MCP is not enabled for the workspace, or the plan does not include the tool.

  • URL connection fails: confirm that the URL uses https://mcp.rshift.com/<workspace>/.

Security

Do not commit the MCP key to Git or send it to Rshift Support. For troubleshooting, share only the page, error code, and approximate time.
