Use Bridge from Claude

Add Kaiva Bridge to Claude and ask it to turn an API into an MCP server. Claude drafts the server in your workspace; you review it and publish it in the console.

Connect Kaiva Bridge

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors. Find Kaiva Bridge in the directory, or choose Add custom connector and paste this URL:

https://api.kaiv.ai/api/bridge/manage/mcp

Claude sends you to sign in with your Kaiva account and asks you to approve access. Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1, so Claude never sees your password, and it only reaches the servers in your own workspace.

What Claude can do

list_my_serversLists the MCP servers in your workspace. Read-only.

get_serverShows one server: its state, every tool it proposes, which are exposed, and its gateway URL. Read-only.

create_serverCreates a new server as a draft from a public URL to an OpenAPI 3 spec, one tool per operation. Its tools start unexposed, so nothing is reachable yet.

reintrospect_serverRe-reads a server's spec after the upstream API changes. New operations arrive unexposed and operations removed upstream are deleted, so Claude asks you to confirm before running it.

What stays with you

Claude can draft; only a person can publish. Choosing which tools to expose, creating keys, publishing and deleting servers all happen in the console at app.kaiv.ai. A draft does nothing until you act on it.

Try asking

Disconnect, privacy and support

To disconnect, remove Kaiva Bridge under Settings → Connectors in Claude; your servers stay in your workspace. Bridge handles your data as described in the privacy policy. For help, email [email protected].
