Connecting Claude to Playground MCP

This guide walks through connecting Claude to the Playground MCP server using OAuth. Before you start, make sure:

  • MCP is enabled for your domain (Control Panel → Advanced Features) and your role (Control Panel → Roles). See Overview for details.
  • You have copied your Connect Token from Profile → App Passwords. The token appears next to an app password when MCP is enabled — you'll paste it into the authorization screen that Claude opens.

Step 1: Add the Playground MCP Server

Add Playground as a remote MCP server. No token goes into the config — authentication is handled by OAuth.

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add --transport http playground https://mcp.playg.app/mcp

Claude Desktop:

Add the server through the Connectors UI, or add this entry to Claude's MCP config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
"mcpServers": {
"playground": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.playg.app/mcp"
}
}
}

Step 2: Authenticate

Run /mcp, select the Playground server, and choose Authenticate (or press Connect in the desktop Connectors UI). Claude opens the Playground authorization screen in your browser.

Step 3: Paste Your Connect Token

On the Connect to Playground screen, paste your Connect Token into the form and approve. Claude finishes the OAuth exchange and the server shows as connected.

Step 4: Start Creating Plays

Ask Claude to create a play, for example:

"Help me create a Salesforce play that validates account phone numbers on insert/update using ACME_ prefix."

If the connection fails, check:

  • The Connect Token was copied from Profile → App Passwords and pasted exactly as-is.
  • MCP is enabled for your domain and role (you'll otherwise get: "MCP is not enabled for your account. Contact your system admin.").
  • Your client is configured to use the correct server URL: https://mcp.playg.app/mcp.
