The Bridge — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects hosted authentication, team workspaces, Stripe billing, and feature flags to your SaaS app directly through AI chat.
claude mcp add --transport http bridge https://api.thebridge.dev/mcpWhat The Bridge does
The Bridge operates as a remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.thebridge.dev/mcp. You do not need to install local runtimes or configure API keys beforehand. Once connected, your coding assistant gets 76 tools to configure essential SaaS services without building custom auth or billing backends from scratch.
The toolset covers OAuth 2.0 sign-in with passkeys or enterprise SSO, customer team invitations, Stripe subscriptions, and scheduled feature flags. During the initial run, a browser tab prompts you to sign in at thebridge.dev and choose target projects.
Destructive actions remain disabled by default on browser-authenticated sessions. Deleting a plan, role, or user requires generating a dedicated API token with delete privileges and typing the exact name of the entity to confirm.
What it helps with
- configure OAuth 2.0, passkeys, and enterprise SSO for a web app
- set up Stripe tiers and customer checkout limits
- schedule feature flags to release pages to specific subscriber plans
- manage multi-tenant workspaces, member roles, and access privileges
Example prompts for the agent
- Set up complete user authentication for my application.
- Create a paid Pro tier at 20 dollars monthly with a 1000 project quota.
- Gate the analytics dashboard behind a flag and enable it for selected clients.
