What you need
- An Aries account and access to Client Center (from a phone or computer browser).
- The Claude app on your phone. Don’t have it? Get Claude for iOS (App Store) or Get Claude for Android (Google Play).
Step 1: Get your Client ID (common for all platforms)
Your Client ID comes from an OAuth client you create in Client Center. Set the OAuth redirect URI there when you generate the key (for authentication only). Then copy your Client ID — you’ll enter only the Client ID in Claude Mobile. Do this once: Create an OAuth client in Client CenterStep 2: Add the Aries MCP server and your credentials in Claude Mobile
Tell Claude Mobile how to connect to Aries by adding the Aries MCP server and your Client ID. Client ID is required — the MCP connection will not work without it.- Open the Claude app on your phone. (Don’t have it? iOS · Android)
- Go to Settings (profile or gear icon).
- Open Integrations, MCP, or Connected apps (the name may vary by version).
- Tap Add integration or Add MCP server and add the Aries MCP configuration (use the server URL or config from Aries).
- When asked for Client ID, paste the value from Step 1.
- If you see Redirect URI, enter:
https://mcp.aries.com/auth/callback. - Save.
Step 3: Complete the OAuth screen and grant permission
Start the connection from Claude Mobile. A browser (in-app or on your device) will open the Aries OAuth screen (sign-in and consent page) so you can approve access.- In Claude Mobile, start the connection (e.g. Connect to Aries or Enable the Aries MCP server).
- A browser opens the Aries OAuth screen.
- Sign in with your Aries email and password.
- Review the permissions and tap Allow or Approve.
- You’re redirected to the MCP callback; the gateway completes the token exchange. You’ll see a success message or return to Claude Mobile.
Step 4: You’re connected
Claude Mobile is now linked to your Aries account. You can use voice or text to ask, for example:- “What’s in my Aries portfolio?”
- “What’s the current price of AAPL?”
- “Place a limit buy order for 10 shares of MSFT at $400.”
Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to do |
|---|---|
| “redirect_uri_mismatch” | In Client Center, set the redirect URI to exactly https://mcp.aries.com/auth/callback (no trailing slash). |
| “invalid_client” | Confirm your Client ID is correct and the client is active in Client Center. |
| “invalid_grant” or “code expired” | The authorization code is one-time use. Start the connection again and complete the OAuth screen and approval without delay. |
| Claude Mobile doesn’t see Aries | Ensure the MCP server is added and enabled, and that you completed Step 3 (OAuth login and approval). Restart the Claude app if needed. |
| Browser doesn’t return to Claude | After approving, if you’re not sent back to the app, open Claude Mobile again and check Settings → Integrations to see if Aries is connected. |
How it works
The flowchart below shows the full connection flow. The sections under it are expandable — closed by default; click a step heading to open and see the details.Step 1: Client Center — get Client ID
Step 1: Client Center — get Client ID
Where: Client Center → API

https://mcp.aries.com/auth/callback. - Save.
Step 3: OAuth screen — grant permission
Step 3: OAuth screen — grant permission
Where: Claude Mobile, then your browser (Aries OAuth screen)
- In Claude Mobile, start the connection (Connect to Aries or Enable the Aries MCP server).
- A browser opens the Aries OAuth screen. The first-time permission grant appears only once — don’t miss it.
- Sign in with your Aries email and password and tap Allow or Approve.
- You’re redirected to the MCP callback; the gateway completes the token exchange. You’ll see a success message or return to Claude Mobile.
Step 4: Connected — use Claude with Aries
