## Setup

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Locate the config file

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="macOS" %}

```
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows" %}

```
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add the `allmcp` entry

Add the `allmcp` entry to `mcpServers`:

{% code title="claude\_desktop\_config.json" overflow="wrap" %}

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "allmcp": {
      "url": "https://go.allmcp.co/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

If you already have other MCP servers, add `allmcp` alongside them:

{% code title="claude\_desktop\_config.json" overflow="wrap" %}

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "existing-server": { ... },
    "allmcp": {
      "url": "https://go.allmcp.co/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Apply the config

**Restart Claude Desktop** — changes to the config file only take effect after a restart.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Restart required.** On macOS: quit from the menu bar icon, not just closing the window.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Verify it's working

Open a new conversation and type:

```
What integrations does AllMCP support?
```

Claude returns the full provider catalog, so you know the connection is live.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

## Connect your first provider

Just ask Claude in plain language. For a provider that uses a key or webhook URL, include the credential in your message:

```
Connect my Bitrix24. The webhook URL is https://my-portal.bitrix24.ru/rest/1/abc123/
```

For an OAuth provider, just name it:

```
Connect Google Sheets
```

{% hint style="info" %}
For Google Sheets and other OAuth providers, Claude returns a link — open it in your browser to authorize access. AllMCP handles the consent and keeps your connection refreshed for you.
{% endhint %}

***

## Scoping to a specific user

If you're building a team setup where multiple users share a Claude Desktop instance, add `user_id` to the URL:

{% code title="claude\_desktop\_config.json" overflow="wrap" %}

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "allmcp": {
      "url": "https://go.allmcp.co/mcp/?user_id=marina-uuid",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

Each `user_id` keeps its own separate set of connected providers, so one person's credentials never mix with another's.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><h4><i class="fa-users" style="color:$primary;">:users:</i></h4></td><td><strong>Multi-tenancy</strong></td><td>How clients, organizations, and users map to credentials.</td><td><a href="https://docs.allmcp.co/documentation/api-reference/multi-tenancy">https://docs.allmcp.co/documentation/api-reference/multi-tenancy</a></td></tr><tr><td><h4><i class="fa-rocket-launch" style="color:$primary;">:rocket-launch:</i></h4></td><td><strong>Quickstart</strong></td><td>Connect AllMCP to your agent in under 2 minutes.</td><td><a href="/pages/416edc1381c20849bc41111b02e482a722a49b94">/pages/416edc1381c20849bc41111b02e482a722a49b94</a></td></tr><tr><td><h4><i class="fa-table-cells" style="color:$primary;">:table-cells:</i></h4></td><td><strong>All providers</strong></td><td>Browse every connected provider.</td><td><a href="/pages/QJVxDLqxIz5KMCH5afbE">/pages/QJVxDLqxIz5KMCH5afbE</a></td></tr></tbody></table>
