This phase within integration of MCP server with IDP involves connecting the MCP client (such as Claude Desktop) to the configured systems.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

Connect the MCP client

1. Navigate to your MCP client and go to Manage ConnectorsAdd a custom connector.  
   For example, open Claude Desktop.
2. Enter the Remote MCP Server URL from your ServiceNow MCP server console.
3. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret from your third-party IDP application configuration.

Authenticate

4. Select Connect and authenticate with your third-party IDP credentials.  
   You're redirected to the IDP login page. Enter your credentials and verify.

Verify tool calls

5. Test your tool calls to verify the connection is working correctly.
