## Before you call it

1. Add ?sponsor=0 to the server URL to keep ads out of context
2. Give the user the claim link so the project survives 72 hours
3. Use the public key in frontend code and keep the manage key server-side

## Connect

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http reqres 'https://reqres.in/mcp?sponsor=0'
```
Full config and headless snippets are in the full page. Through letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/reqres-mcp
