Connect HTTP API to Claude Code
To use HTTP API in Claude Code, connect your HTTP API account in Manyplug and add Manyplug to Claude Code once. Claude Code then gets 2 HTTP API tools, for example: “GET request” and “Write request”. It takes about 3 minutes and works on the free plan.
Connect HTTP API Free plan, no card
1. Connect HTTP API in Manyplug
Click “Connect HTTP API” and paste the key or app password into Manyplug’s form:
The API’s base address and a key, if it needs one. Keep the API docs at hand.
- Find the base address in the API docs, for example https://api.example.com/v1. The AI can only call addresses below it.
- Create an API key in the service’s settings (look for API, Developers or Integrations).
- Pick how the docs say to send the key (most APIs use a Bearer token) and paste the key into the form.
- After connecting, describe the main endpoints to the AI in the chat, or paste a link to the docs.
- Prefer a read-only key. Write requests (POST, PUT, DELETE) follow your confirmation rules.
2. Add Manyplug to Claude Code
Terminal, VS Code and JetBrains.
- Run the command in a terminal.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user manyplug https://manyplug.com/mcp - Start claude, type /mcp, pick manyplug and sign in in the browser.
3. Ask Claude Code
- Get /orders?status=open and list order numbers with totals.
- Check the API status endpoint and tell me if anything is down.
- Create a customer “ACME Ltd” through the API. Show me the request first.
What Claude Code can do in HTTP API
Each action can be turned off per account, and changes can wait for your OK.
| Action | Access |
|---|---|
| GET request Reads from the API: a GET request with query parameters. Returns the status and JSON or text. | Reads |
| Write request Changes data through the API: a POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE request with a JSON body. | Makes changes |
Questions
Can I connect two HTTP API accounts to Claude Code?
Yes. Connect each one in Manyplug under its own name, for example Work and Personal. Claude Code can use one of them or all at once.
Will Claude Code change anything in HTTP API without asking?
Changes follow your rules: you can make every change in HTTP API wait for your approval, or let Claude Code only read.
Do I need an official HTTP API MCP server for this?
No. Manyplug connects to HTTP API itself with a key or app password you paste into its form, and gives Claude Code the tools through one MCP address, together with your other services.
Is it free to connect Claude Code to Manyplug?
Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Pro free, then the free plan keeps going with 150 actions a month and up to 3 connected accounts. No card needed. Paid plans start at $5 a month.
Does Claude Code see my passwords or API keys?
No. Keys are entered on Manyplug’s own pages, stored encrypted with a separate key per account, and the AI only receives tool results.
