Claude Desktop

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

For Claude’s hosted remote connector with browser-based OAuth, use the Claude integration guide. The configuration below is the legacy API-key fallback for clients that do not start OAuth automatically.

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. Keep this file private.

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_json, builder_create_session, etc.
