Supported hosts
Use this matrix to choose a setup guide and see its current limitation. A published guide is not a verified compatibility claim. Hoist’s hosted MCP endpoint supports Streamable HTTP only (not SSE); the host must also complete OAuth, discover Hoist tools, and return a Hoist tool result before you rely on it.
| Host | Recommended path | Current status or limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | /mcp/install/claude-desktop/ | Guide published; real-client tool-discovery and result smoke pending. |
| Claude.ai | /mcp/install/claude-web/ | Guide published; smoke pending and connector availability depends on plan and workspace settings. |
| ChatGPT Web | /mcp/install/chatgpt/ | Best-effort private app. Full MCP apps require Business or Enterprise/Edu on the web; Pro is limited to read/fetch custom MCP permissions and is not a complete Hoist host. Use Settings > Apps > Advanced settings, then Create app and Scan Tools. Treat output as Hoist-backed only when the Hoist app and a Hoist tool result are visible. |
| Cursor | /mcp/install/cursor/ | Guide published; current real-client smoke pending. |
| Cline | /mcp/install/cline/ | Guide published; current extension-host smoke pending. |
| Codex CLI | /mcp/install/codex-cli/ | Native Streamable HTTP setup verified against Codex CLI 0.144.6; authenticated Hoist tool-result smoke remains pending. |
| Gemini CLI | /mcp/install/gemini-cli/ | Uses the documented httpUrl Streamable HTTP configuration; real-client OAuth and tool-result smoke remain pending. |
| Gemini Web | Use Gemini CLI, API, or Hoist CLI instead. | Not supported for Hoist MCP; do not treat Gemini Web answers as Hoist source-backed evidence. |
| curl or direct HTTP | /mcp/install/curl/ | Protocol/debug path; API keys apply to REST and OAuth tokens to MCP. |
| Custom agents | Use the endpoint and OAuth metadata. | Unverified until that host proves Streamable HTTP, OAuth, tool discovery, and a Hoist tool result. |
Auth summary
Section titled “Auth summary”- REST API and CLI:
Authorization: Bearer $HOIST_API_KEY(aha_live_key). - MCP: OAuth consent at
https://mcp.assets.hoistai.com— no key to paste. - Human account pages: browser sessions.
Host not listed
Section titled “Host not listed”If a host supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP and OAuth, it may be able to use:
MCPhttps://mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp
Test OAuth, tools/list, and a real Hoist tool result before describing that host as supported. If the host only supports local subprocess MCP servers, use a bridge that explicitly supports a remote Streamable HTTP OAuth server, then apply the same verification rule.
