Step 1: Access MCP Configuration

Step 2: Add New MCP Configuration

Note: For now, this MCP server does not require authentication. This might change in the future.
If your client requires an authentication method, select "None" or leave the auth section as shown above.
Configuration for Claude Desktop
Unfortunately, Claude Desktop doesn’t yet support the SSE protocol. Until that changes, you’ll need to use a workaround with SSE proxies—or wait for our next release, which will add stdio-protocol support so that Claude Desktop can run it directly.
