Konecty Setup

Konecty Setup

Conversational setup for the Konecty MCP servers in Claude Code. Konecty exposes two MCP endpoints per deployment: the user MCP at <url>/mcp (data operations, OAuth login) and the admin MCP at <url>/admin-mcp (metadata, admin users only). This skill registers them, switches them to a new company URL, fixes authentication, and troubleshoots enablement — it never makes improvised HTTP calls to Konecty.

Registration mechanisms (single source of truth)

There are two ways to register the user-scope servers; the agent picks by environment (see Registration flow). <url> is the normalized base URL (see URL validation). Server names are fixed: konecty and konecty-admin. Registration is always user scope — the CRM follows the person across projects. OAuth is the default in both mechanisms; Bearer/OTP is a fallback only (legacy / no-browser).

A. claude CLI commands (when the CLI is available)

These are exactly the commands the konecty-skills installer runs.

# User MCP (data + OAuth login)
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user konecty <url>/mcp

# Admin MCP — default (OAuth trusted client; browser login on first use)
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user konecty-admin <url>/admin-mcp --client-id claude-code-admin --callback-port 19819

# Admin MCP — fallback (Bearer authTokenId from an admin OTP login; legacy Konecty)
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user konecty-admin <url>/admin-mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <authTokenId>"

# add-json alternative (same entry as the JSON below)
claude mcp add-json konecty '{"type":"http","url":"<url>/mcp"}'

# Removal (always before re-adding — replace, never duplicate)
claude mcp remove --scope user konecty
claude mcp remove --scope user konecty-admin

B. Config-file entries (when the CLI is absent — the desktop app)

User-scope servers live under the top-level mcpServers object in ~/.claude.json (config home is $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/.claude.json when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set, else ~/.claude.json). Both the CLI and the desktop app read this file, and user-scope servers here have no pending-approval gate (that gate is only for project .mcp.json).

Every entry MUST have "type":"http" — an entry with url but no type is an error.

// User MCP (OAuth default, DCR)
"konecty": {"type":"http","url":"<url>/mcp"}

// Admin MCP (OAuth trusted client) — admins only
"konecty-admin": {"type":"http","url":"<url>/admin-mcp","oauth":{"clientId":"claude-code-admin","callbackPort":19819}}

// Bearer fallback (NOT default — legacy / no-browser)
"konecty-admin": {"type":"http","url":"<url>/admin-mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer <authTokenId>"}}

Registration flow (environment-aware, autonomous)

The agent registers the servers end-to-end. Never dead-end by printing commands for the user to run.

1. Validate the URL (see URL validation) — abort cleanly if it fails.

2. Detect the environment

command -v claude

• Exit 0 (CLI available) → use mechanism A. Replace-not-duplicate: if an entry already exists (claude mcp list), claude mcp remove --scope user <name> first, then add.
• Non-zero (CLI absent — the app) → use mechanism B: the agent edits ~/.claude.json itself with the python3 procedure below. Do NOT dead-end.

3. Write the config safely (app path)

Substitute the real <url>, then run. This reads the file (missing → {}), ensures mcpServers, sets exactly one konecty entry (replacing any existing — never duplicating), and writes back with indent=2 preserving every other key. It NEVER overwrites the whole file and NEVER touches other keys.

python3 - <<'PY'
import json, os
home = os.environ.get("CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR") or os.path.expanduser("~")
path = os.path.join(home, ".claude.json")
try:
    with open(path) as f:
        cfg = json.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:
    cfg = {}
cfg.setdefault("mcpServers", {})
# User MCP — OAuth default (DCR). Replace, never duplicate.
cfg["mcpServers"]["konecty"] = {"type": "http", "url": "<url>/mcp"}
# Admin MCP (admins only, if they want metadata ops) — OAuth trusted client.
# Uncomment to add it:
# cfg["mcpServers"]["konecty-admin"] = {
#     "type": "http", "url": "<url>/admin-mcp",
#     "oauth": {"clientId": "claude-code-admin", "callbackPort": 19819}}
with open(path, "w") as f:
    json.dump(cfg, f, indent=2)
print("wrote", path)
PY

4. Finish (by environment)

• CLI: the first konecty tool call (or /mcp → konecty → Authenticate) opens the browser for OAuth login. Claude Code stores and refreshes the token.

• App: tell the user to restart the app — config is read on startup and there is no documented hot-reload — then /mcp → konecty → Authenticate opens the browser. The restart and that one consent click are the only manual steps (consent is human-by-design).

  Honesty caveat: the app config-write and the app reading ~/.claude.json are doc-confirmed. The app /mcp → Authenticate browser UX is the documented OAuth mechanism but not yet empirically verified by us — present it as the expected flow. If OAuth can't be completed (no browser), the Bearer fallback (mechanism B admin entry / headers on the user entry) is the guaranteed-no-browser alternative.

URL validation (before any registration)

1. Ask the user for their company's Konecty URL if not already known.
2. https only — reject http:// with a clear message (exception: explicitly local/dev hosts the user insists on).
3. Normalize: strip any trailing slash and any path — the base URL is scheme + host (+ port). https://acme.konecty.com/ → https://acme.konecty.com.
4. Probe: GET <url>/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource must return 200 with a JSON body.
   • 404 → this Konecty does not expose MCP: "Seu Konecty ainda não expõe MCP — peça um upgrade do servidor, ou use a última versão deste pacote baseada em scripts (tag da release anterior à MCP-first)." Stop — do not register anything.
   • The JSON's resource field should equal <url>/mcp. A mismatch means the deployment's OAuth audience is misconfigured (PLATFORM_MCP_RESOURCE_URL): warn the user now — login would succeed but every MCP call would be rejected. See references/troubleshooting.md.

Flow: first setup

1. Validate the URL (above).
2. Register the user MCP via the Registration flow — detect the environment and use mechanism A (CLI) or B (app config-write). Replace any old konecty entry first, never duplicate.
3. Finish the OAuth login per environment (Registration flow step 4): CLI opens the browser on first tool call (or /mcp → Authenticate); the app needs a restart then /mcp → konecty → Authenticate. At consent the requested scopes (read, and write when the namespace enables writes) are listed → approve. Claude Code stores and refreshes the token automatically.
4. Verify: call a cheap tool (e.g. modules_list) and confirm it answers.
5. Offer the admin path (below) only if the user is a Konecty admin and wants metadata operations (konecty-meta).

Flow: switch company URL ("trocar de empresa")

Replace, never duplicate:

1. Validate the new URL.
2. Re-register konecty for the new URL via the Registration flow (CLI: remove then add; app: the python3 write overwrites the single konecty entry).
3. If konecty-admin is registered, re-register it for the new URL the same way — the old admin token belongs to the old company; a new OAuth consent (or OTP login on the fallback path) against the new URL is required.
4. Browser OAuth will re-run on first use (app: after restart) — that is expected.

Flow: fix auth (re-login)

• User MCP (OAuth): 401/UNAUTHORIZED on konecty tools → re-authenticate in Claude Code (/mcp → reconnect, browser login again). Nothing to reconfigure.
• Admin MCP (OAuth, default): 401/UNAUTHORIZED on meta_* tools → re-authenticate in Claude Code (/mcp → konecty-admin → reconnect, browser login again). Nothing to reconfigure.
• Admin MCP (OTP fallback token): 401 on meta_* tools when using the Bearer path → the authTokenId expired. Re-run the admin OTP path below and re-register the konecty-admin entry (remove + add with the fresh token).

Flow: admin path

Default (OAuth trusted client) — no stored token; the admin scope is granted at the browser consent on first use:

1. The user must be a Konecty admin (admin: true).
2. The deployment must seed a trusted first-party client via OAUTH_CLIENTS_JSON (trustedFirstParty: true and admin in allowedScopes; recipe in Konecty's docs/en/mcp.md). Its registered redirect URI must be exactly http://localhost:<port>/callback.
3. Register the konecty-admin server via the Registration flow's OAuth admin form — CLI: the --client-id claude-code-admin --callback-port 19819 command; app: the commented konecty-admin block in the python3 write, with the oauth {clientId, callbackPort} object. The port must match the client's registered redirect port. Remove/replace any existing konecty-admin entry first. (The installer's konecty-skills install admin step does the same by default.)
4. Login happens on first use: /mcp in Claude Code → pick konecty-admin → Authenticate → the browser opens. At consent, admin appears unchecked with a warning and only for users with admin: true. Approve it. Nothing is stored on disk — Claude Code holds and refreshes the token.
5. If the admin option does not appear at consent, the trusted client is not seeded (or the user is not an admin) — see references/troubleshooting.md.

Fallback (interim OTP → Bearer) — for older Konecty without the trusted client, or when explicitly requested (konecty-skills install --admin-auth otp):

1. The user must be a Konecty admin (admin: true).
2. Run the OTP flow with the session_* tools on the user MCP (konecty server): session_login_options → session_request_otp_email / session_request_otp_phone → ask the user for the code → session_verify_otp_email / session_verify_otp_phone → returns authId.
3. Register the admin server with the Bearer form, using authId as <authTokenId> — CLI: the --header "Authorization: Bearer ..." command; app: the Bearer-fallback JSON entry (headers object). Remove/replace any existing konecty-admin entry first.
4. Never echo or store the OTP code; the token lives only in the MCP entry header.

Troubleshooting

Every connection/permission error has a specific cause and remediation — see the full matrix in references/troubleshooting.md (MCP disabled, role not allowlisted, read-only mode, audience mismatch, consent screen missing, admin option not showing).
