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.

  1. Run /mcp
  2. Choose ares Authenticate
  3. Browser opens aresmcp.com → Continue with Google → authorize Claude Code
  4. 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"
    }
  }
}
