Claude Desktop
Add CryptoContext to Claude Desktop with mcp-remote.
- Open Settings → Developer → Edit config to open
claude_desktop_config.json. - Add the server (replace the token with your connection's access token):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cryptocontext": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.cccontext.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer ${CC_TOKEN}"],
"env": { "CC_TOKEN": "<your access token>" }
}
}
}- Restart Claude Desktop. The CryptoContext tools appear in the tools menu.
mcp-remote needs Node.js 18 or later. Keeping the token in env means it does not appear in the command line.
