Connecting Claude Desktop

Status: ✅ Current · Last reviewed: 2026-06-18

The Claude desktop app (Mac / Windows) connects the same way as Claude Web — via Connectors. Older builds use a config file instead.

Step 1 — Open Connectors

In Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (recent builds). Menu names may shift between releases.

Step 2 — Add the Memeri connector

  • Name: Memeri
  • Remote MCP server URL:
{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp
  • Auth: Bearer token → paste your Memeri token

Step 3 (older builds only) — Config file

No Connectors UI? Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add Memeri to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memeri": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp",
      "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": "<your-cb_-token>" }
    }
  }
}

(This is the desktop app's own config file — different from Claude Code the CLI, which you connect with claude mcp add.)

Step 4 — Save and verify

Restart Claude Desktop, start a new chat, and ask "What's my current focus?" — it should call get_focus.
