Claude Desktop
A remote connector in settings, or the stdio bridge on plans without them.
Kind MCP client
Transport Remote MCP connector, added in Settings.
Config Settings → Connectors, or claude_desktop_config.json
Setup
- Open Settings and look for Connectors (sometimes under Integrations).
- Add a custom connector with the URL below and your key as an x-api-key header.
- Restart Claude Desktop.
- Start a chat and check the tools appear in the tool menu.

x-api-key: nai_your_key_here If your plan has no custom-connector option, bridge through stdio

What differs here
- Remote connectors are not available on every plan. The stdio bridge above works on all of them and is the usual fallback — see the mcp-remote page for what it is doing.
- The config file lives under your user Library (macOS) or AppData (Windows); the app shows the exact path from Settings → Developer → Edit Config, which is more reliable than any path written down here.
- Because a desktop config file is a plain JSON file in your home directory, it is a credential store. Treat it like one.
Next
- Get a key at console.unzoi.com, if you have not.
- The tool reference — what the model is reading when it chooses between the six tools.
- Stories for context windows — the one habit that most changes how well an agent works against this API.
- Limits — an agent that loops can spend a monthly quota faster than you expect.
- Claude Desktop's own MCP documentation — authoritative for anything about the client itself, including config paths, which move.
