Problem summary
You add Funnel MCP to Claude Desktop by editing claude_desktop_config.json manually because your organization does not offer Add custom connector. OAuth discovery succeeds, but connection fails during dynamic client registration and no Funnel sign-in window opens.
Error message or symptoms
The MCP server starts and OAuth discovery succeeds, but setup fails at dynamic client registration. mcp-remote reports a ServerError against login.funnel.io/oidc/register and no sign-in window opens.
A typical failing configuration looks like this:
"funnel": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.ai.funnel.io/mcp"]
}When does this occur
When you configure Funnel MCP manually in Claude Desktop with
mcp-remoteinclaude_desktop_config.jsonWhen your Claude organization does not show Add custom connector and you cannot use the in-app connector flow
After OAuth discovery succeeds but registration against
login.funnel.io/oidc/registerfails before sign-in
Root cause
mcp-remote attempted dynamic OAuth client registration without a static OAuth Client ID from Funnel. For manual Claude Desktop setups, registration at the OIDC register endpoint can fail and block the sign-in flow until you pass Funnel's static OAuth client details to mcp-remote.
Solution
Confirm your Remote MCP server URL matches your Funnel region:
Global (default):
https://mcp.ai.funnel.io/mcpEU:
https://mcp.eu.ai.funnel.io/mcp
Copy Server URL from Connect Funnel MCP in Funnel AI full view (Data > Analyze > Funnel AI).
Copy your OAuth Client ID from the same Connect Funnel MCP modal. Expand Advanced if your client requires static OAuth registration.
Replace your
claude_desktop_config.jsonentry with static OAuth client info. Substitute the placeholders below:
{mcp_server_url}— your Funnel MCP server URL from step 1{local_callback_port}— a local port for the OAuth callback (for example17207){oauth_client_id}— your OAuth Client ID from step 2
json "funnel": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "{mcp_server_url}", "{local_callback_port}", "--static-oauth-client-info", "{\"client_id\":\"{oauth_client_id}\"}" ] }
Restart Claude Desktop and complete the Funnel sign-in flow when the browser window opens.
If registration still fails, contact Funnel support. Include:
