# Claude Desktop

> Claude Desktop is Anthropic's desktop application for chatting with Claude.

[Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) is Anthropic's desktop application for chatting with Claude. You can connect it to Clickbase's MCP servers to query your analytics and manage your sites through conversation.

## Prerequisites

* Claude Desktop installed.
* A Clickbase team with an active subscription — see [Authentication](/api/authentication).

## Setup via Settings

1. In Claude Desktop, go to **Settings > Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.
2. Enter the server URL — add the [Reader](/ai/reader) for reporting, the [Writer](/ai/writer) if the agent should also make changes:

```
https://clickbase.so/mcp/reader
https://clickbase.so/mcp/writer
```

3. Claude Desktop opens your browser to complete the OAuth authorization flow — sign in and approve access. See [Connectors](/ai/overview) for the auth model.

## Manual configuration

You can also configure the servers directly in `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json theme={null}
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "clickbase-reader": {
            "url": "https://clickbase.so/mcp/reader"
        },
        "clickbase-writer": {
            "url": "https://clickbase.so/mcp/writer"
        }
    }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop to load the new configuration.

## Verify it works

Start a new conversation and ask Claude to interact with your Clickbase account:

```
List my Clickbase sites
```

You should see Claude use the Clickbase Reader tools to fetch your site list.
