Claude Desktop with API Key

If you prefer using an API key instead of OAuth, you can connect Claude Desktop via the mcp-remote bridge. You'll need Node.js v22 or later installed.

Step 1: Generate an API key

Go to your BlackTwist dashboard, open Settings > MCP, and generate a new API key. Copy it somewhere safe.

Step 2: Edit your config

Open your claude_desktop_config.json file and add the following entry under "mcpServers":
{
  "blacktwist": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "-y",
      "mcp-remote@latest",
      "https://blacktwist.app/api/mcp",
      "--header",
      "Authorization:${BLACKTWIST_TOKEN}"
    ],
    "env": {
      "BLACKTWIST_TOKEN": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you generated in Step 1.

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect. You should see BlackTwist listed as an available MCP server.

Note for nvm users

If you use nvm to manage Node.js versions, Claude Desktop may not find npx on your PATH. Use the full path to npx instead. You can find it by running which npx in your terminal.
