MCP Server Installation

This guide shows you how to connect Hello Battle Card's MCP server to AI agents.

Prerequisites​

  • Enterprise plan account
  • API key (create one in Settings > API Keys)
  • MCP-compatible AI agent (ChatGPT Desktop, Claude Desktop, etc.)

Server Endpoint​

https://app.hellobattlecard.com/mcp

Authentication​

The MCP server uses API key authentication. Include your API key in the X-API-Key header.

Connecting to Claude Desktop​

  1. Open Claude Desktop settings
  2. Add MCP server configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hello-battlecard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch",
        "https://app.hellobattlecard.com/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop
  2. The MCP server will be available in Claude conversations

Connecting to ChatGPT​

ChatGPT Desktop supports MCP servers. Configuration is similar to Claude Desktop.

Testing the Connection​

Once connected, try asking your AI agent:

  • "List all my competitors"
  • "Get the battlecard for competitor X"
  • "What intel do we have on competitor Y?"

Troubleshooting​

Connection fails:

  • Verify your API key is correct
  • Check that you have an Enterprise plan
  • Ensure the server URL is correct

Tools not available:

  • Make sure the MCP server initialized successfully
  • Check the agent's MCP server logs
  • Verify API key permissions
