# Claude Desktop

> Connect Autype to Claude Desktop app

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

## Configuration

Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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](https://app.autype.com).

## 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.
