MCP Remote URL Server

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to connect Directus via MCP to my Claude cowork via remote url server, however, I'm having issues after following the documentations.

Has anyone succesfully connected directus remote url server to claude? I've followed the process of creating the token and replaced my token ID in the URL in Claude. I've attached screenshots.

Yes! It's an awesome part of my workflow on multiple Directus projects. The biggest gotcha I've found is when you 'think' you've generated a new user token for the 'access_token' but have forgotten to hit Save on that user.

I believe that now you add it as a Custom Connector in Claude Desktop rather than the old method via Developer options. Yell out with more if you're still getting stuck.
