Claude Desktop Integration - Neosantara Docs

Connect the Claude Desktop application directly to Neosantara’s MCP Gateway using Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport.

Configuration File Path

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file based on your operating system:

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

MCP Server Configuration

Insert the neosantara entry inside the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neosantara": {
      "url": "https://api.neosantara.xyz/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "nsk_mcp_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP connections require a dedicated API key prefixed with nsk_mcp_. See MCP API Keys.

Verifying Connection

Close and restart the Claude Desktop application.
In the bottom right corner of the chat input box, a hammer icon will appear indicating active tools.
Click the hammer icon to review available tools: chat, list-models, generate-image, and list-image-models.

Test Prompt Example

Send this prompt in Claude Desktop to verify tool execution:

List available Neosantara models with their context windows and token pricing using the MCP tool.
