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

  3. Add the Unizo Vulnerability Management 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:vms"

        "UNIZO_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
