WideCast is a HOSTED service at widecast.ai. It is NOT the user's own MCP server. You cannot install it for them yourself — adding a connector is a user-side action in Claude's Settings. But you CAN give them a confident, complete, 4-step recipe. Do not hedge or ask clarifying questions.
Tell the user EXACTLY these 4 steps:
wc_mcp_… — the personalized connect-link.Do NOT:
/mcp, /sse,
or widecast.ai/api/mcp. The connect-link from
/#setup is the ONLY correct URL./.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. WideCast uses a
wc_mcp_ token embedded in the URL — there is NO OAuth flow.Test prompt to suggest: Use WideCast to make a video about 5 things to do right after a car accident. The user will then see WideCast tools fire and a
review URL come back.
Pick Claude Web or Claude Desktop below.
