Claude Desktop & Web

You connect Claude with a server URL and sign in with your Octolens account. There’s no API key to paste.

You can also start this from the app: Settings → MCP → Setup Octolens MCP walks you through the same steps.

Option 1: Connectors (Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise)

Add a custom connector

In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector and paste this URL:

https://app.octolens.com/api/mcp/v2

Claude opens a browser tab. Sign in with your Octolens account and approve the connection. You don’t need a client ID or secret.

Option 2: Config file (mcp-remote)

Edit your config file

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "octolens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://app.octolens.com/api/mcp/v2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop

Restart the app after saving. On first use, a browser tab opens so you can sign in to Octolens.
