MCP Setup

Prerequisites

• Claude Desktop (macOS or Windows)
• ChainVue API key

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Sign up at chainvue.io/signup
2. Go to Dashboard → API Keys
3. Create a new key and copy it

Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

# macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Windows
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the ChainVue MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainvue": {
      "url": "https://mcp.chainvue.io/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace your_api_key_here with your actual API key.

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. You should see a hammer icon indicating available tools. Click it to verify ChainVue tools are loaded.

Step 4: Test It

Try asking Claude:

Claude will use the get_sync_state tool to fetch and display the data.
