Your tool credentials (ClickUp, Gmail, Slack, etc.) are stored in your Bridge account and authorized via OAuth from the web dashboard. When you connect Bridge to your AI client via MCP, it uses the credentials already on file — you don’t need to pass API keys to your AI client manually. Set up your connectors at bridge-mcp-967806289134.us-central1.run.app before connecting your AI.

Example commands to try
Once Bridge is connected to your AI client, try these:Troubleshooting
Claude says it can’t find Bridge or the tool fails silently. Make sure you’ve connected at least one tool in your Bridge dashboard before using Bridge from your AI client. Bridge can only act on tools that have been authorized via OAuth. The MCP server URL isn’t accepted. Copy the URL exactly — includinghttps:// and the /mcp path. Some clients require the trailing /mcp to be explicit.
Commands succeed in the Command Center but not through Claude. This usually means the OAuth session for one of your connectors has expired. Go to bridge-mcp-967806289134.us-central1.run.app, open Connectors, and reconnect the affected tool.
