Connecting to Claude Desktop

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:

Configure Claude Desktop:

Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "launchnotes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@launchnotes/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LAUNCHNOTES_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if running from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "launchnotes": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "LAUNCHNOTES_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }

Restart Claude Desktop
Verify the connection: Ask Claude: "List my LaunchNotes projects"

Troubleshooting

Server won't start

Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version
