How to disconnect an MCP server

You disconnect an MCP server in the client that added it, then you revoke the key or connector on the service side if one exists. Removing it from Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop does not always revoke the key. For Evenpost, revoke the key in Evenpost Settings. Do not call an OAuth revoke URL that is not implemented.

What does disconnecting an MCP server actually do?

Disconnecting an MCP server means removing it from the client that added it, then revoking the key or connector on the service if one exists. Removing the server from Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop does not always revoke the key. Those are two different steps.

The client step stops that app from calling the server. The service step ends the credential. You need both if you want the server gone and the key dead.

How do you remove a server in the client that added it?

Remove the server in the same client that added it, using that client's current MCP settings. Client docs cover the host-specific clicks. When Evenpost is the example, the working clients are Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and Grok CLI.

Connect Claude Code to tools via MCP, fetched 10 November 2026, documents claude mcp remove for removing a server. The same page says: "When you remove a remote server, Claude Code also deletes the OAuth tokens and client registration it stored for that server. Claude Code doesn't revoke the tokens at the authorization server that issued them." That is the client-versus-service split in the client's own words.

Manage and troubleshoot MCP servers in Visual Studio Code, fetched the same day, puts removal under the server's menu as Uninstall. It also says that if Uninstall is not available for a manually configured server, you remove that server's entry from the source configuration.

Connect in about 2 minutes, updated 7 November 2026 and fetched 10 November 2026, lists the working Evenpost clients as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and Grok CLI. Use each client's own remove or uninstall control. Use each client's own remove or uninstall control rather than a second install guide.

Why is removing the server not the same as revoking the key?

Removing a server entry stops that client from calling the server. The service may still have an active key. For Evenpost, the key lives until you revoke it in Settings. Evenpost has no disconnect tool beyond Settings, and the advertised revoke URL is not a working step.

Claude Code's own MCP docs, quoted above, say removing a remote server does not revoke tokens at the authorization server that issued them. That is why the second step exists.

How do you revoke an Evenpost key?

For Evenpost, revoke the key in Evenpost Settings. Open Settings to see the current label. Making or revoking keys exists in the app, on your phone, for you. Hosted and local disconnect use that same Settings step; the later hosting page owns the disk-access split.

Revoking the Evenpost key in Evenpost Settings is not the same as revoking the app on X. Review connected apps in X Settings and revoke the X-side access if it is still listed.

Evenpost is an app for X (Twitter) for solo founders. You and your agent draft, you approve each post in the Evenpost app, and it posts with natural spacing, or right away if you choose Post now. Updates: @evenpost.

What your agent can do, updated 7 November 2026 and fetched 10 November 2026, says an agent cannot "make or revoke keys." Those actions "exist only in the app, on your phone, for you."

What should you not do?

Do not call an OAuth revoke URL just because metadata advertises one. For Evenpost, that advertised revoke path returned 404 on 10 November 2026 and is not how you disconnect. The advertised /oauth/revoke path is not a working step, and hosted Evenpost has no separate disconnect tool.

On 10 November 2026, GET https://beta.evenpost.app/oauth/revoke returned 404, and POST to the same path also returned 404. Revoke the key in Evenpost Settings instead.

If you are connecting a tool rather than removing one, secure the X account first. Follow current X Help, and know that no posting tool, Evenpost included, can get a lost account back.

Official X MCP is a separate connection. If you connected X's official server as well, remove that server in the client on its own terms. See Can X's official server for AI agents post tweets?. You do not need an X developer account to use Evenpost; that cut lives on Do I need an X developer account?. Nearby automation rules live on Does X allow AI agents to post?.

If you needed the difference between a local server and a hosted one, that is a later page. Disconnecting is a revoke step, not a hosting choice.

FAQ

If I delete the server from Cursor, is the key gone?

Not always. Removing the server stops that client from calling it. The service may still have an active key. For Evenpost, revoke the key in Evenpost Settings.

Where do I revoke an Evenpost key?

Revoke it in Evenpost Settings, not at an /oauth/revoke URL. Live tool docs say making or revoking keys exists only in the app, on your phone, for you. Open Settings to see the current label. On X, review connected apps in X Settings and revoke the X-side access if it is still listed.

Is there an /oauth/revoke endpoint I should call?

No. Do not call an OAuth revoke URL to disconnect Evenpost. On 10 November 2026, GET and POST to the advertised path both returned 404. Revoke the key in Evenpost Settings.

Do I need to disconnect official X MCP separately?

Yes, if you added it. Official X MCP is a separate connection from Evenpost. Remove that server in the client that added it, and read the live official-MCP answer for what that server can do.

Does hosted MCP disconnect the same way as local MCP?

The Settings revoke step is the same. Removing the server still happens in the client that added it. The local versus hosted split is about disk access, not about where you revoke the key.
