# Connect Catalyst Dynamic MCP Server with any MCP Client

A [Catalyst Dynamic MCP server](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/ai-toolkit/catalyst-mcp-server/overview/#catalyst-mcp-server-1) has a universal MCP URL, you can use to connect to your required MCP Client (LLM). No MCP Tool configuration needs to be done in the MCP console.

You only have to connect the following MCP URL to your required MCP Client.

`https<span></span>://catalyst.zohomcp.com/mcp/message`

If you have a requirement to connect the Catalyst Dynamic MCP server to a custom AI Model, LLM, AI-compatible IDE, then you need to ensure:

* It is compatible to accept remote MCP servers.
* It supports connection through **HTTP** or **Streamable Transport**

Once you confirm the fulfillment of the above requirements, then:

1. Ensure **Agent mode** or its equivalent mode is enabled in your tool.
2. Create a `mcp_config.json` file or search and find the appropriate file in your AI tool.
3. Paste the following code snippet in the file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ZohoMCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://catalyst.zohomcp.com/mcp/message",
        "--transport",
        "http-only"
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

Follow the authorization process, and your MCP server will be connected and ready to use.
