# Getting started

> Bring Quartr's transcripts, reports and slide decks into Claude Code and your own agents

## Introduction

The Quartr MCP server gives AI assistants and agents a set of tools over Quartr's data: find a company, browse its events and documents, search what was said across earnings-call transcripts, reports and slide decks, and read the passages around a hit. It implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io), so it works with Claude Code, your own agents and any other client that supports remote MCP servers.

Every result names the company and the event it came from and carries a link back to Quartr, so answers can be checked at the source.

The MCP server is its own product with its own dataset permissions. It covers [companies](https://quartr.com/docs/datasets/companies.md), [events](https://quartr.com/docs/datasets/events.md), [transcripts](https://quartr.com/docs/datasets/earnings-call-transcripts.md), [filings and reports](https://quartr.com/docs/datasets/filings-and-reports.md) and [slide presentations](https://quartr.com/docs/datasets/slides.md). Contact your Quartr representative to get access.

What it covers, and how an assistant uses it, is described under [Tools](https://quartr.com/docs/mcp/tools.md).

## Getting started

Connect the server in your client with your API key. The quickest way to try it is in Claude Code. Other clients are covered in [Connect your client](https://quartr.com/docs/mcp/connect.md).

**1. Get an API key**

Create a key in the [Quartr Portal](https://portal.quartr.dev). If your plan includes the MCP server, the keys you already use for the REST API work here too. See [Authentication](https://quartr.com/docs/mcp/authentication.md).

**2. Add the server**

Add the server in Claude Code with your API key as a header:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http \
  --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  quartr https://api.quartr.com/public/mcp
```

**3. Ask a question**

Start a new session and ask about a company, its events or what was said in its documents. The assistant picks the tools it needs and answers from the results.
