##Remote MCP server

Coder can expose an MCP server via HTTP. This is useful for connecting web-based agents, likehttps://claude.ai/, to Coder. This is an experimental feature and is subject to change.

To enable this feature, activate the`oauth2` and`mcp-server-http` experiments using an environment variable or a CLI flag:

```sh

CODER_EXPERIMENTS="oauth2,mcp-server-http" coder server
>At this time, the remote MCP server is not compatible with web-based ChatGPT.

Users can authenticate applications to use the remote MCP server with OAuth2. An authenticated application can perform any action on the user's behalf. Fine-grained permissions are in development.
