AI assistants (MCP)

Connector address: https://api.valjeanspecialty.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless, JSON responses). Connect with an API key as a bearer header, or let the app sign in with OAuth.

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http valjean https://api.valjeanspecialty.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer vjk_live_..."

Apps that only connect by signing in (some chat apps’ custom-connector screens) just need the address: they’re sent to Valjean’s approve page, where you sign in with your portal link or an API key.

Revoking access

Turn off a connected app under Connected apps in your agency portal, or revoke the key it uses. Either stops it at once.
