Connect BusinessMCP to Claude Desktop

One entry for every tool you have connected, rather than one config block per server with its own credential. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "businessmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://businessmcp.com/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer mcph_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

1Open Claude Desktop, then Settings → Developer → Edit Config. That opens claude_desktop_config.json.
2Paste the block above, replacing the placeholder with a key from your BusinessMCP dashboard.
3Restart Claude Desktop. Your tools appear in the tool menu.
4Ask something only your data can answer — "what were my top channels last week?" — and Claude calls the tool rather than guessing.

Frequently asked questions

Where is claude_desktop_config.json?

Claude Desktop opens it for you from Settings → Developer → Edit Config, which is more reliable than hunting for the path — it differs by operating system and the file may not exist until you create it there.

Do I need one config entry per server?

With raw MCP, yes — every server is its own entry with its own credential. Connecting through BusinessMCP is one entry for all of them, because the gateway exposes everything your workspace has connected behind a single endpoint.

Why does Claude not see my tools after editing the config?

It reads the file at launch, so a full restart is required — not just closing the window. If they still do not appear, the file almost certainly has a JSON syntax error; Claude fails silently on a malformed config.
