digimcp works with any MCP-capable client. The server URL is always https://digimcp.com/mcp — everything else is the client's own connector flow.
Before you start
You need a digimcp account (sign-ups are invite-only) and a digikey.com account.
After your first sign-in, open the dashboard and click Connect DigiKey — you'll approve access on digikey.com. Catalog and order tools won't work until this is done.
Claude — web & desktop
Open Settings → Connectors (on claude.ai: your initials, bottom-left → Settings).
Click Add custom connector.
Name it digikey and paste the URL below, then Add.
Click Connect next to the new connector — you'll be sent through digimcp sign-in and back.
In any chat, open the tools menu (the sliders icon) and make sure the connector is enabled.
https://digimcp.com/mcp
Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise).
Claude Code — terminal
One command:
claude mcp add --transport http digikey https://digimcp.com/mcp
Start (or restart) claude, then run /mcp and pick digikey to authenticate — your browser opens for sign-in and consent.
Add --scope user to the command above if you want digimcp available in every project, not just the current one.
Other MCP clients
Any client that speaks Streamable HTTP with OAuth works — point it at https://digimcp.com/mcp and complete the sign-in it triggers. This includes ChatGPT (connectors), Cursor, and MCP Inspector.

Troubleshooting
"DigiKey account not connected" — open the dashboard and click Connect DigiKey.
"Could not refresh your DigiKey authorization" — your DigiKey grant expired (90 days idle) or was revoked. Reconnect from the dashboard.
Rate limited — DigiKey allows 120 calls/min and 1,000/day per account; digimcp adds its own daily cap. Check server_info or the dashboard usage bar.
Agent can't authenticate — remove and re-add the connector; your session token may have expired.
