# Claude Desktop (macOS)

> Add OpenFinance to Claude Desktop on macOS

Claude Desktop supports remote MCP servers either through the Connectors UI or by editing the config file directly. The config file approach is shown here for parity with other editors.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Developer settings">
    Open Claude Desktop → **Settings** → **Developer**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit config">
    Click **Edit Config**. Find `claude_desktop_config.json` and open it with a text editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the server">
    You will see something like this:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "preferences": {
        "coworkScheduledTasksEnabled": true,
        "sidebarMode": "task"
      }
    }
    ```

    Add a comma after the `preferences` closing brace, then paste the `mcpServers` block:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "preferences": {
        "coworkScheduledTasksEnabled": true,
        "sidebarMode": "task"
      },
      "mcpServers": {
        "openfinance-tech": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://api.openfinance.tech/agent/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "x-api-key": "open_xxxxx"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    If you only need public tools, drop the `headers` object entirely.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Quit Claude fully">
    Click **Claude** in the menu bar → **Quit Claude** (or press Cmd+Q).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reopen and verify">
    Reopen Claude Desktop. Start a new conversation, you should see a hammer icon in the chat input area.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Closing the window is not enough, you must fully quit the app for Claude Desktop to pick up the new config.
