Xano MCP Server connection issues to Claude

Hi,
Spent half the day today trying to connect Claude to my instance MCP Server in accordance with the post attached ( https://docs.xano.com/ai-tools/mcp-builder/connecting-clients ) and the docs that go with it ( https://docs.xano.com/ai-tools/mcp-builder/connecting-clients )

But I'm just getting errors in Claude that it can't connect to the MCP Server etc. And from reading a lot of posts on this forum many others have the same issues and most error logs point to the Streaming connection URL / or SSE.

Example here: https://community.xano.com/ask-the-community/post/xano-mcp-server-connection-issue---invalid-content-type-for-sse-endpoint-1KRUQPgrd7dlTYp

And here: https://community.xano.com/ask-the-community/post/how-to-install-xano-mcp-server-in-claude-web-wPXuYQ7W4i4X2ID

I find the official docs to be pretty unclear. How exactly should the url be built up, the docs show:

For the Xano MCP Server or a server you built that requires authentication, you’ll need to embed the token in the server URL, as shown below.
<url>/<token>/streaming

So if the Streaming connection is: https://xxxx-yyyy-xxx.yy.xano.io/x2/mcp/meta/mcp/stream

Should it then be: https://xxxx-yyyy-xxx.yy.xano.io/x2/mcp/meta/mcp/stream/<token>/streaming ?

I've tried every combination there is (I think?) and pasted according to this
For Claude Pro and Max Plans

  1. Navigate to Settings > Connectors.

  2. Locate the “Connectors” section.

  3. Click “Add custom connector” at the bottom of the section.

  4. Add your connector’s remote MCP server URL.

  5. Finish configuring your connector by clicking “Add.”

Would love to hear from someone on the Xano team as there has been plenty of reports on this.
Thanks in advance,
