- doc/deployment.md: run familiar as a remote MCP server — secure defaults, bearer vs OAuth modes, the full env-var reference, one-time login / token-store provisioning, the published images, docker compose, and TLS reverse-proxy blocks for nginx (proxy_buffering off + long read timeout), Caddy, and Traefik. - doc/clients/: one page per client with exact working steps — Claude Code, VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json with a masked token input, and the workspace .mcp.json header gotcha), Mistral Le Chat, Claude Desktop + Cowork (mcp-remote bridge, per-OS config paths), and Claude web (oauth mode + external IdP, with "use Desktop + bearer" as the simpler alternative). Plus a clients/ index. - README: a "Connect a client" matrix (client -> auth -> guide) and a compact "Deploy with Docker" section linking to doc/deployment.md; oauth mode noted. - doc/README.md index: rows for Deployment and Client setup. - doc/getting-started.md: pointer from the HTTPS quickstart to the full docs. - CLAUDE.md: FAMILIAR_AUTH_MODE / FAMILIAR_OAUTH_* / FAMILIAR_ALLOW_INSECURE_BIND and /healthz in the transport note; the split ci.yml / docker.yml workflows. Deployment docs live under the existing doc/ tree (the repo uses doc/, not a separate docs/) to keep a single documentation directory.

Connect Claude Desktop
Auth: bearer token, via a local bridge. Prereq: familiar deployed over HTTPS (see deployment), plus Node.js (npx) on the machine running Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop's Connectors UI can add a remote MCP URL but cannot attach a bearer header. So bridge the remote HTTP server to a local stdio command with mcp-remote, which forwards the Authorization header.
Edit claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"familiar": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://familiar.yourdomain.tld/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
]
}
}
}
Config file location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Restart Claude Desktop fully (quit, not just close the window). familiar appears in the tools/plug icon.
Troubleshooting
- Server fails to start — ensure Node.js is installed and
npxis on PATH; the first run downloadsmcp-remote. - 401 — fix the token in the
--headerargument, then restart. - Want native (no bridge)? Only the OAuth path is header-free, and Desktop's connector is happiest with bearer via this bridge — keep
mcp-remoteunless you've set up oauth mode.
