Connect Claude Desktop

Add valueIQ as a custom connector from Claude Desktop's Settings → Connectors. 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. Custom connectors are available on all Claude plans (Free plans are limited to one custom connector).

Steps

  1. Open Connectors settings. In Claude Desktop go to Settings → Connectors (some versions show this as Customize → Connectors).
  2. Add the connector. Click + Add custom connector and paste the server URL:
https://mcp.valueiq.ai
  1. Connect and sign in. Click Add, then Connect. Your browser opens the valueIQ consent screen — sign in and approve the connection. There is no API key, token, client ID or secret to enter.
  2. Use it. valueIQ tools are available in any new chat. Claude connects to the server from Anthropic's cloud, so no local install or restart is needed.

Team and Enterprise plans. An organisation Owner adds the connector first under Organization Settings → Connectors. Members then find it under Customize → Connectors and click Connect to sign in individually.

Editing the config file instead

Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json only accepts local servers — pasting a url entry there does nothing. To connect a remote server through the config file, use the mcp-remote bridge (requires Node.js 18 or newer):

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "valueiq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.valueiq.ai"]
    }
  }
}

Save the file, then fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. The first time you use a valueIQ tool, a browser tab opens for OAuth sign-in. Prefer the Connectors UI above — it is simpler and does not require Node.js.

Vendor syntax can change

Claude's MCP setup can change. If a step looks out of date, the vendor's docs are the canonical source: Custom connectors using remote MCP.

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.
