Connect the Autype MCP server to Claude Desktop for macOS or Windows.

​
Configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autype": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.autype.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from the Dashboard.

​
Config file location

The config file is located at:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

​
Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the config file, restart Claude Desktop completely (quit and reopen) for the changes to take effect.

​
Verify connection

Once restarted, you should see the Autype tools available in Claude Desktop. You can verify by asking:
“What Autype tools do you have access to?”
Claude should list all available Autype tools like render_document, render_markdown, builder_create_session, etc.

​
Self-hosted server

If you’re running your own MCP server, change the url to point to your server: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autype": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://your-server:8000/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
