Prerequisites

A supported Linux Server and administrator access.
A public address or DNS name reachable by Agents.
The paths described in firewall/NAT requirements.
For remote MCP, public DNS and HTTPS plus single443 deployment.

Download and run the official Server installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datarelay-labs/datarelay-link/main/dist/bootstrap-server.sh -o bootstrap-server.sh
sudo bash ./bootstrap-server.sh

Follow the prompts for the external address and deployment mode. Select single443 for Claude/ChatGPT remote MCP, then configure public HTTPS and OAuth in the MCP connection guide.

sudo drlink show status
sudo drlink system diagnostics
