Arrival Space MCP Server

Last Updated:28.01.2026Version2.0

Overview

The Arrival Space MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows AI assistants like Claude to interact directly with your Arrival Space account. You can create spaces, manage entities, and control your 3D environments through natural language conversations.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external services. When you connect Claude to Arrival Space via MCP, Claude can perform actions on your behalf — like creating new spaces or adding 3D content.

Technical Details

Server Endpoint

https://api-staging.arrival.space/api/v1/mcp

Authentication

The MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for secure authentication. When you authorize the connection, your existing API key is used as the access token — the same key visible in your Arrival Space account settings.

Supported Transports

  • Streamable HTTP (recommended for Claude Desktop)
  • SSE (Server-Sent Events) for legacy clients

OAuth Discovery

MCP clients can auto-discover OAuth endpoints via:

GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

If Claude cannot connect to Arrival Space:

  1. Check the server URL — ensure it's exactly https://api-staging.arrival.space/api/v1/mcp
  2. Restart Claude Desktop after editing the config
  3. Re-authenticate — try removing and re-adding the connection

Authentication Popup Doesn't Appear

  • Make sure popups are not blocked in your browser
  • Try opening the OAuth URL manually if Claude provides one

"Invalid API key" Errors

  • Your session may have expired — re-authenticate by triggering any Arrival Space action
  • Check that your Arrival Space account is verified and active

Security

  • Your password is never shared with Claude
  • Authentication uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 with PKCE
  • The access token is your API key, which you can revoke anytime from your Arrival Space account settings
  • All communication is encrypted via HTTPS
caution

Only connect to MCP servers you trust. The Arrival Space MCP server at api-staging.arrival.space is officially maintained by the Arrival Space team.
