Connect from Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop uses stdio transport and requires the mcp-remote bridge to connect to SSE servers. Make sure you have Node.js installed.

Configuration

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following:

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "atomicwork": {
4      "command": "npx",
5      "args": [
6        "mcp-remote",
7        "https://<your-subdomain>.atomicwork.com/api/mcp/sse",
8        "--header",
9        "X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>"
10      ]
11    }
12  }
13}

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v18+) must be installed and npx available on your PATH.
  • The mcp-remote package is downloaded automatically by npx on first use.

After Configuration

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop (not just close the window). The Atomicwork tools will appear in the tool picker when starting a new conversation.
