Documentation
Install from the Claude Code marketplace, then sign in with Google via /mcp — same pattern as Exa.
1. Install plugin
In Claude Code, add the Ares marketplace and install the plugin. No token is injected at install time.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add kareeii/ares-mcp /plugin install ares@ares-mcp
2. Authenticate
You authenticate yourself — Ares does not auto-login.
- Run /mcp
- Choose ares → Authenticate
- Browser opens aresmcp.com → Continue with Google → authorize Claude Code
- Claude Code stores the OAuth tokens and refreshes them automatically
CLI alternative: claude mcp login ares
3. Manual add (no plugin)
Register the HTTP server only — still use /mcp Authenticate afterward.
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http -s user ares https://aresmcp.com/mcp
.mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ares": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://aresmcp.com/mcp"
}
