Set up Claude Desktop
- 1
Open the config file
In Claude Desktop go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config. That opens claude_desktop_config.json in your editor.
- 2
Paste the Claivra server block
Add the snippet above (merge it into any existing mcpServers), replacing ck_live_YOUR_KEY with the key from your dashboard.
- 3
Fully restart Claude Desktop
Quit from the menu bar (not just close the window) and reopen — the app only reads the config on a cold start.
- 4
Confirm the tools loaded
Open a chat and try "List my Claivra brands" — you should see the Claivra tools available.
Note: Claude Desktop's built-in custom connector uses OAuth, so a Bearer API key is wired through the npx mcp-remote bridge (requires Node.js installed). If you prefer the native connector, add it under Settings → Connectors instead.
Try these once you're connected
