</Tip>

OctoEverywhere's remote MCP server works with any AI assistant or agent that supports remote MCP HTTP servers and OAuth authentication. We designed our server to be as compatible as possible.

### Set up Your 3D Printer Remote MCP

1. Go to the MCP server configuration/settings in your AI tool or agent.
2. Use the following URL as the remote MCP server URL.
   1. [https://octoeverywhere.com/api/mcp](https://octoeverywhere.com/api/mcp)
3. If needed, select an HTTP transport and OAuth authentication.
   1. Note that no other OAuth authentication details are required; the client will automatically discover them.
4. Add the MCP server.
5. Use the authentication flow to log in to your OctoEverywhere account.
6. Done!
