Install MCP Server to Claude Web & Desktop
There are two ways to add the InfraNodus MCP server to Claude, depending on whether you use the Web or Desktop version:
- Claude Web — uses a remote connector URL. No local installation needed.
- Claude Desktop — uses a local JSON configuration file, just like Cursor IDE.
Option 1: Claude Web (Remote Connector)
The easiest way to install the InfraNodus MCP server is to use our remote connector URL:
1. Open Claude Web and go to the Settings > Connectors page.
2. Click the Add Custom Connector button.
3. Add the following URL to the connector's URL field: https://mcp.infranodus.com
4. Give it a short name (e.g. "InfraNodus") and then click "Add".
5. The server will appear in the list of connectors. Click on it and then click "Connect".
6. You will be redirected to InfraNodus's authentication page. There you can provide your InfraNodus API key which you can obtain from your API control panel.
7. Once you're authenticated, click "Configure" to ensure Claude has access to the MCP server tools and has the right permissions.
8. You can now use the InfraNodus MCP server in any chat in your Claude Web. Try opening an existing conversation and asking InfraNodus to analyze it directly from your LLM chatbot.
Option 2: Claude Desktop (Local JSON Config)
For Claude Desktop, you add the InfraNodus MCP server directly via the local configuration file. The advantage is that you don't rely on additional server infrastructure:
1. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config to edit the configuration file.
The configuration file is usually located at:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add the following configuration to the file. Make sure to provide your InfraNodus API key in the "env" field below:
{
"mcpServers": {
"infranodus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"infranodus-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"INFRANODUS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}This instructs Claude Desktop to launch the InfraNodus MCP server locally using the `npx` package manager and the InfraNodus MCP server npm package.
