That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Photon MCP Server
Use Photon from any MCP client.
If your client supports remote MCP servers with OAuth (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor),
connect to the hosted server instead: https://mcp.photon.codes/mcp. No key is
needed. Use this local server when your client only runs stdio servers.
Setup
Create an Account Service Key (
pho_ask_...) in the Photon dashboard.Add the server to your client. Node.js 22 or newer is required.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add photon --env PHOTON_API_KEY=pho_ask_... -- npx -y @photon-ai/mcpCursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON-configured clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"photon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@photon-ai/mcp"],
"env": { "PHOTON_API_KEY": "pho_ask_..." }
}
}

The server offers the same tools as the hosted server. Operations that manage keys, account security, SSO or billing checkout are not available. Your client decides when to ask before running a tool, so set it to confirm writes.
