Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and enter:

text
{APP_URL}/mcp

Claude Desktop discovers that TKP requires OAuth and opens a browser for the authorization flow automatically. Once approved, the connector is available in your conversations.

API key

The Connectors UI is built for OAuth and doesn't take a custom header, so a static bearer token needs a small local bridge. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tkp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "{APP_URL}/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This uses the community mcp-remote bridge to forward Claude Desktop's local stdio connection to TKP's remote HTTP endpoint with your token attached. Restart Claude Desktop after editing the file.
