Connect Claude Desktop
Register valueIQ as an MCP server in Claude Desktop by editing its config file. Sign-in happens in your browser the first time you use a valueIQ tool.
Before you start. You need a valueIQ workspace and Claude Desktop installed.
Steps
- Open the config file. Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
- Add the valueiq entry to your
mcpServersblock.
{
"mcpServers": {
"valueiq": {
"url": "https://mcp.valueiq.ai"
}
}
}- Save the file, then fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. The server is not picked up until you restart.
- Sign in on first use. The first time you use a valueIQ tool, Claude opens a browser tab to authenticate via OAuth. Sign in to valueIQ and approve the connection. There is no token to copy.
Tip. Some Claude Desktop versions also show Settings → Connectors (or Customize → Connectors). There you can add valueIQ as a custom connector with the same server URL, the way you would on claude.ai. Either route works.
Vendor syntax can change
Claude's MCP configuration syntax can change. If a step looks out of date, the vendor's docs are the canonical source: Claude Desktop MCP docs.
Privacy
MCP calls run with your valueIQ identity and respect the same workspace permissions as the app. You can revoke a connected client at any time from Workspace Settings → Developer.
