Claude Desktop Setup

Prerequisites​

  • Claude Desktop (download from claude.ai)
  • Unizo API key and Identity integration ID
  • Node.js v20 or higher

Setup Instructions​

  1. Install @mcp-remote if not already installed:

    npm i mcp-remote

  2. Open Claude Desktop and navigate to Settings → Developer → Edit Config

  3. Add the Unizo Identity configuration to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unizo": {
      "command": "/Users/{user_name}/.nvm/versions/node/v18.x.x/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/Users/{user_name}/.nvm/versions/node/v18.x.x/bin/mcp-remote",
        "https://api.unizo.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "apikey:${UNIZO_API_KEY}",
        "--header",
        "x-mcp-scopes:identity"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UNIZO_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Flags: If npx is producing errors, consider adding -y as the first argument to auto-accept the installation of the mcp-remote package.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unizo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.unizo.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "apikey:${UNIZO_API_KEY}",
        "--header",
        "x-mcp-scopes:identity"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UNIZO_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
