docs: simplify Claude Code MCP setup (PLT-2275)#1053
Merged
Conversation
Remove the Arcade API key prerequisite and header-based auth from the Claude Code client guide. The `claude mcp add` command now connects to the gateway URL directly without Authorization or Arcade-User-ID headers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
