Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code

For coding and desktop tools you paste a small piece of configuration. Pick your tool below and copy the snippet exactly.

What you need

  • Plan: Any plan
  • Time: 5 minutes
  • Node.js installed (only for Claude Desktop, it runs npx).

Important. YOUR_API_KEY is a placeholder. On your AI page the real link is hidden behind dots; press the eye icon to see it, or the Copy button to copy it. Never paste it in public places.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your own account. The AI Assistant page shows these snippets with your key already filled in when you press the Copy button, which is the easiest way.

  1. Claude Desktop

    Open Claude Desktop, then Settings, Developer and Edit Config. Paste this in claude_desktop_config.json, save and restart the app.

                "command": "npx",
                "args": [

                "type": "http",
