Setup
Connect Moda to Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Claude Code, Claude mobile, Cursor, or VS Code.
The Moda MCP server at mcp.moda.app requires no local installation. Authentication is handled via OAuth — you sign in through your browser on first use.
This page focuses on the most common setups for Moda today: Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. Other MCP-capable clients can connect to the same hosted server too, as long as they support remote MCP.
Connect your editor
Go to Settings > Connectors and add Moda as a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.moda.app. You'll be prompted to sign in on first use.
To verify, click the + button in the chat box, then Connectors — you should see Moda listed.
Go to Settings > Connectors on claude.ai and add Moda as a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.moda.app. You'll authorize via OAuth on first use.
Team and Enterprise plans: An admin must first add the Moda connector in Admin Settings > Connectors. After that, individual members can connect from their personal Settings > Connectors.
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http moda https://mcp.moda.appVerify the connection:
claude /mcpYou should see moda listed as a connected server. When you first use an MCP tool, Claude Code will open your browser for sign-in.
To remove the server later:
claude mcp remove modaConnectors set up on claude.ai sync to the Claude mobile app automatically.
- Go to claude.ai/settings on your computer
- Add the Moda connector (see the Claude.ai (browser) tab)
- Open the Claude app on your phone — Moda will be available
This lets you create designs from your phone by chatting with Claude.
Open Cursor Settings > MCP and add a new server, or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"moda": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.moda.app"
}
}
}You can also use a project-level config at .cursor/mcp.json in your project root.
Cursor handles the OAuth flow automatically when you first connect.
Add to your VS Code settings (settings.json):
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"moda": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.moda.app"
}
}
}
}Verifying the connection
After setting up the server, test it by asking the AI agent to describe a Moda design:
What's in this Moda design? https://moda.app/s/your-share-tokenThe agent should call the get_moda_design tool and return a description of the canvas contents.
Troubleshooting
Server not connecting
- Claude Desktop: Check that Moda appears under Connectors (click the + button in the chat box). If not, go to Settings > Connectors and re-add it. Try restarting the app.
- Claude.ai: Check that the connector appears in claude.ai/settings under Connectors. Try removing and re-adding it.
- Claude Code: Run
claude /mcpto verify the server is listed. Tryclaude mcp remove modaand re-add it. - Claude Mobile: Connectors sync from claude.ai. Make sure the connector is set up in claude.ai/settings under Connectors first, then restart the mobile app.
- Cursor: Check that the MCP server shows as "connected" in Cursor Settings > MCP. Try restarting the MCP server from the settings panel.
- VS Code: Ensure the MCP configuration is in your user or workspace
settings.json. Restart VS Code after adding the config.
