Claude Code's official MCP guide documents remote HTTP servers and browser OAuth. The command shape below was confirmed against installed Claude Code `2.1.208`; Sift has not yet completed its production read/write verification suite in the named client.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http sift YOUR_SIFT_MCP_URL
```

In Claude Code, run `/mcp`, select Sift, and authenticate. Start a fresh session if the tool list does not refresh. Verify `contract.get`, then a read-only `context.assemble` call. [Official configuration evidence](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/mcp).

If OAuth or tool reload fails, use [local MCP](/connect/local-mcp/).
