macOS/Linux

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP Server to the Configuration

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "APIMatic": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "" } } } } ``` Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop.
