How to install Ollav in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI
Add the server
bashclaude mcp add --transport http ollav https://app.ollav.app/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>'Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Verify it's connected
bashclaude mcp listSharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. share_html, publish_new_version, list_documents). It discovers them automatically.
How to install Ollav in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)
Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add this server
json{ "mcpServers": { "ollav": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.ollav.app/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}" ], "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" } } } }Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.
How to install Ollav in CursorAI-first code editor
Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project
json{ "mcpServers": { "ollav": { "url": "https://app.ollav.app/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" } } } }Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.
How to install Ollav in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml
toml[mcp_servers.ollav] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.ollav.app/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"] env = { AUTH_HEADER = "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" }Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.
How to install Ollav in WindsurfCodeium's agentic IDE
Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
json{ "mcpServers": { "ollav": { "serverUrl": "https://app.ollav.app/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" } } } }Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.

What the code can do
This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Documentation
Full READMEOllav MCP
Ollav is where humans and AI agents review HTML together. Your agent shares a prototype as a live link, your team pins comments to the exact element they mean, and the agent reads those comments, fixes the page and publishes the next version at the same URL.
This repo holds Ollav's Claude Code plugin and MCP setup. The server itself is hosted: there is nothing to run.
- Endpoint (Streamable HTTP):
https://app.ollav.app/mcp - API keys: https://app.ollav.app/keys (
ol_test_...for a sandbox,ol_live_...for real work) - Full docs: https://ollav.app/docs/mcp · Quickstart: https://ollav.app/docs/agents

Claude Code
Install the plugin (the MCP server plus a skill that tells Claude when to use Ollav):
/plugin marketplace add ollav-app/ollav-mcp
/plugin install ollav@ollavSet OLLAV_API_KEY in your environment first. Or add just the MCP server:
claude mcp add --transport http ollav https://app.ollav.app/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $OLLAV_API_KEY"Check it: claude mcp list shows ollav as connected.
