Claude desktop

As an example we’re using Claude desktop client. It’s free and possible to download from https://claude.ai/download.

​
Step 1: install mcp proxy

First thing is to install MCP proxy tooling to your local machine. Tools like mcp-proxy can be used. It’s generic purpose and open source. Source code can be found on https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy, it could be installed by running a brew command explained on https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mcp-proxy. Copying command from below will trigger install on your OS. 
brew install mcp-proxy

​
Step 2: configure desktop client

Assuming you already have (or installed following the url above) Claude client - run it and configure it to use your local mcp proxy server. To do so, follow into the settings menu, Developer tab, there will find a button to editing a config file.

Once clicked, it will open file explorer with a configuration file already highlighted - open it. Following config needs to be added to this config file 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-proxy": {
      "command": "mcp-proxy",
      "args": [
        "-H",
	"Authorization",
	"Bearer <SPIKE_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
	"--transport",
	"streamablehttp",
	"https://app-api.spikeapi.com/v3/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Save and close the file. Restart you Claude client.

​
Step 3: run the prompt

Once restarted, try running something simple just to make sure it’s all connected and working. For example 
how well did I sleep last night?
You should notice query_sleep tools being used and you might be prompted for approval.
