Claude Desktop uses the same @karzounchat/mcp-server package as Cursor, with a different config file location.

Config file

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "karzoun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@karzounchat/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "KARZOUN_API_URL": "https://YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.api.karzoun.chat/graphql",
        "KARZOUN_APP_TOKEN": "YOUR_APP_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create an app token in Developer → Apps (authentication).

Verify

1. Quit and reopen Claude Desktop
2. Look for the hammer / tools indicator — Karzoun tools should appear
3. Ask: "Using Karzoun tools, list my first 5 tags"

Troubleshooting

Same fixes as Cursor troubleshooting — env vars, token scopes, and npx connectivity.
