Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config:

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

{
"mcpServers": {
  "memclaw": {
    "url": "https://memclaw.net/mcp",
    "headers": { "X-API-Key": "mc_xxx" }
  }
}
}

Quit and re-open Claude Desktop. Confirm the memclaw server is connected from Settings → Developer.

The memclaw_* tools now appear in any conversation. Cross-conversation persistence is the headline benefit: ask Claude Desktop to "remember X" in one chat, then start a new chat tomorrow and ask "what do you know about X?".

Going to production: use a per-agent key

The mc_ quickstart key above is a tenant-scoped credential — fine for a single user. For a team or fleet, bind each agent to its own agent-scoped credential for trust gating, fleet membership, and per-agent keystones. Both kinds use the mc_ prefix on the wire; scope is set at mint time. See Per-agent keys.
