Claude.ai toolforte format_json

How to: Claude.ai toolforte format_json

client:Claude.ai transport:streamable-http tool:format_json

Add toolforte to Claude.ai

  1. 01

    Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

https://toolforte.com/api/mcp
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude.ai.

  2. 03

    Ask for something format_json does. Claude.ai lists the server's tools on connect and calls format_json itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that toolforte's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude on the web takes a remote URL and completes OAuth in the browser. For a packaged server use Claude Desktop or Claude Code instead. Claude.ai docs

Set these first

toolforte will not start until these are set, so format_json never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
