You can do so by clicking on Import Token on your metamask:

Thereafter, enter the contract address for madETH at the Token Contract Address field which is 0x30D2a9F5FDf90ACe8c17952cbb4eE48a55D916A7. The rest of the information will be automatically populated. Once done, click on the Add Custom Token.

Click on Import Tokens.

You’re done!
