Claude Desktop

Connect from Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop only supports local stdio servers. To connect to Atomicwork, use the mcp-remote bridge, which runs locally and forwards calls to the HTTP endpoint. Make sure you have Node.js installed — you can check with node --version.

Configuration

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

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

Add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Atomicwork": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://<your-subdomain>.atomicwork.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer aw_xxx"
      ]
    }
  }
}

If you already have an mcpServers block, append the Atomicwork entry to it — do not replace the entire block.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+) must be installed and npx available on your PATH. Check with node --version.
• The mcp-remote package is downloaded automatically by npx on first use.

After Configuration

Fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop (not just close the window) for the changes to take effect. The Atomicwork tools will appear in the tool picker when starting a new conversation.
