Claude (Desktop)

Overview

The Claude desktop app supports MCP servers natively. Once configured, you can ask Claude about your Chartcastr account without switching to a browser.

Prerequisites

Claude desktop app installed (macOS or Windows)
A Chartcastr account on any paid plan
An API key from Settings → API Keys in your Chartcastr dashboard

Setup

1. Generate an API key

In Chartcastr, go to Settings → API Keys and create a new key.

2. Edit the Claude config file

Open the config file for your platform in a text editor:

macOS
Windows

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

If the file doesn’t exist yet, create it.

3. Add the Chartcastr MCP server

Paste the following, replacing YOUR_API_KEY:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chartcastr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.chartcastr.com/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key:YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude

Quit and reopen the Claude desktop app. A small hammer icon will appear in the text input area when MCP tools are available.
