Connecting Claude Desktop to Xurrent MCP

The Xurrent MCP server is a remote server hosted by Xurrent. You connect to it from Claude Desktop using the mcp-remote bridge package, which proxies your local Claude Desktop client to the hosted endpoint.

Prerequisites

• Claude Desktop installed. Download from claude.com/download or your company's app catalog.
• Node.js 20.18.1 or higher. Check with node -v in a terminal. If you're below this version, see Troubleshooting before continuing.
• A Xurrent Personal Access Token (PAT). See Authentication and PAT Setup.

Configuration

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

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

Add the xurrent-mcp block to your mcpServers object.

For production (.com):

{
 "mcpServers": {
   "xurrent-mcp": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": [
       "-y",
       "mcp-remote",
       "https://mcp.xurrent.com/mcp",
       "--header",
       "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAT_HERE"
     ]
   }
 }
}

For QA (.qa):

{
 "mcpServers": {
   "xurrent-mcp-qa": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": [
       "-y",
       "mcp-remote",
       "https://mcp.xurrent.qa/mcp",
       "--header",
       "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAT_HERE"
     ]
   }
 }
}

You can run both side by side. Just use different keys (xurrent-mcp and xurrent-mcp-qa).

Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS, not just close the window) and relaunch.

Verifying the connection

After relaunching, click the tools icon in Claude Desktop's chat input. You should see the Xurrent tools listed. Try asking: "What are my open requests in Xurrent?"

A few things to know

• There is no @xurrent/mcp-server npm package. The Xurrent MCP server is remote, not a local package. Use mcp-remote as shown above.
• Authentication is via Bearer token in the Authorization header. XURRENT_API_TOKEN and XURRENT_ACCOUNT environment variables won't work.

If something isn't working, see the Troubleshooting guide.
