# Claude Desktop (Windows)

> Add OpenFinance to Claude Desktop on Windows

<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 Notepad or any 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="Close Claude fully">
    Right-click Claude Desktop in the taskbar → **Close window**, or press Alt+F4.
  </Step>

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