[ HOW TO CONNECT ]

Connect Quickchat AI to Bifrost in three steps

Install Bifrost

Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.

npx -y @maximhq/bifrost

Add Quickchat AI in MCP Gateway

Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and select the transport documented by the upstream server. Or register via the API below.

• Confirm the transport, command or endpoint, and authentication requirements in the Quickchat AI upstream documentation.

• Replace every placeholder in the example before sending the request.

Point clients at Bifrost /mcp

Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Quickchat AI.

[ EXAMPLE CONFIG ]

Register Quickchat AI via API

Add this MCP client with a POST to /api/mcp/client. See Connecting to MCP Servers for full options.

# For a remote HTTP or SSE server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "quickchat-ai",
    "connection_type": "<http|sse>",
    "connection_string": "<upstream MCP endpoint>",
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

# For a local STDIO server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "quickchat-ai",
    "connection_type": "stdio",
    "stdio_config": {
      "command": "<upstream command>",
      "args": ["<arg>"]
