Claude Code

Claude Code connects to the hosted Alpha Ladder MCP server using a Bearer token passed directly in the Authorization header. There is no OAuth flow — you provide your API key once on the command line.

Setup

Run this command in your terminal, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your Alpha Ladder API key (sk-…):

claude mcp add --transport http metacomp \
  https://www.alphaladder.hk/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

This registers Alpha Ladder as an MCP server named metacomp. The tools are available immediately in any new Claude Code session.

To verify the server was added:

claude mcp list

You should see metacomp listed with the URL https://www.alphaladder.hk/mcp.

Recommended: the Alpha Ladder Agent Skill

For the best experience, also install the Alpha Ladder Agent Skill — one skill that adds guided, confirm-before-acting workflows across all four capability groups (deposit, withdraw, exchange, and wealth), so you don't compose tool calls manually. Download it from github.com/metacomp-ai/metacomp-skill and place it under ~/.claude/skills/. See Install & Connect for the full walkthrough.

Usage

In a Claude Code session, ask naturally:

Show my Alpha Ladder account balance.

Claude will call get_account_summary and return a readable result. You can also call tools directly in agent scripts or automated pipelines.

Notes

• Auth: Claude Code uses a direct Bearer token, not OAuth. There is no token expiry — the key is valid until revoked from the dashboard.
• Removing the server: claude mcp remove metacomp
• Auth details: see Authentication — Local / npm MCP.
