Step 2. Allow Claude Code access your MCP Gateway

The gateway is added but not signed in. In your terminal run claude /mcp, choose the added gateway, then choose Authenticate.

The gateway listed under Manage MCP servers

Choosing Authenticate for the gateway

Claude Code opens Archestra's consent screen in your browser; sign in and click Allow. If the server still shows disabled, choose Enable.

All Set

Claude Code now runs through Archestra — its MCP orchestrator, guardrails, and observability — while your Claude subscription keeps paying for inference.
