  }
}
```

### Claude Code (remote)

```sh

```

The same server is also hosted as a remote MCP endpoint, so nothing runs on your machine.

## Environment variables

- `GTM_MCP_URL`: Endpoint override. Defaults to https://mcp.gtm-api.com/mcp. Authentication is OAuth, run by the launcher on first use, so no credential goes in the client…
