Remote connector or plugin?
Both work. The remote connector above needs no install and is the same one Claude, ChatGPT and others use. The DenkOps plugin (/plugin marketplace add DenkOpsAI/denkops-mcp) runs locally and deploys a folder from disk; pick it if you prefer a local process. You only need one of the two.
Troubleshooting
- Port already in use during sign-in — Claude Code picks a random local port; retry
/mcp→ Authenticate. - Deploying from the repo — Claude Code reads your files; with the remote connector it sends them in the deploy call, so keep secrets out of the files and set them as environment variables.
