Open Claude Desktop developer settings

Go to Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer. This is where you manage MCP server connections.

03

Paste the config

Copy the JSON block above and paste it into the MCP server config field. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just generated.

04

Restart Claude Desktop

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The AppTide MCP server connects on startup.
