Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open Developer settings

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer.

Edit config

Click Edit Config. Find claude_desktop_config.json and open it with Notepad or any text editor.

Add the server

You will see something like this:

{
  "preferences": {
    "coworkScheduledTasksEnabled": true,
    "sidebarMode": "task"
  }
}

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

{
  "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.

Close Claude fully

Right-click Claude Desktop in the taskbar → Close window, or press Alt+F4.
