Overview

Learn how to integrate deployed MCP servers with Claude Desktop for seamless AI-powered workflows.

Prerequisites

  • ntcli installed and authenticated
  • At least one MCP server deployed
  • Claude Desktop installed

Step-by-Step Integration

1

Deploy MCP Server

ntcli server deploy nationalparks-mcp
2

Generate Configuration

ntcli server claude-config nationalparks-mcp --insecure
3

Add to Claude Desktop

Copy the output to your claude_desktop_config.json file
4

Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to load the new configuration

Configuration Example

The ntcli server claude-config command generates configuration like this:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nationalparks-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@nimbletools/mcp-http-bridge",
        "--endpoint",
        "https://mcp.nimbletools.dev/{workspace-uuid}/nationalparks-mcp/mcp",
        "--token",
        "wst_your_workspace_token..."
      ],
      "auth": null,
      "oauth": false
    }
  }
}

URL Structure

The new simplified MCP endpoints follow this pattern:
  • Format: https://mcp.nimbletools.dev/{workspace-uuid}/{server-id}/mcp
  • Example: https://mcp.nimbletools.dev/abc123/nationalparks-mcp/mcp
Automatic Generation: The claude-config command automatically uses the correct URL format and includes your current workspace token.
