| 40 | ### 2. Configure Your MCP Client |
| 41 | |
| 42 | #### Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Raycast, etc. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings after replacing `<YOUR_API_KEY>` with your actual API key: |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ```json |
| 47 | { |
| 48 | "mcpServers": { |
| 49 | "anytype": { |
| 50 | "command": "npx", |
| 51 | "args": ["-y", "@anyproto/anytype-mcp"], |
| 52 | "env": { |
| 53 | "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>\", \"Anytype-Version\":\"2025-11-08\"}" |
| 54 | } |
| 55 | } |
| 56 | } |
| 57 | } |
| 58 | ``` |
| 59 | |
| 60 | > **Tip:** After creating an API key in Anytype, you can copy that ready-to-use configuration snippet with your API key already filled in from the API Keys section. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | #### Claude Code (CLI) |

| 67 | claude mcp add anytype -e OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS='{"Authorization":"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>", "Anytype-Version":"2025-11-08"}' -s user -- npx -y @anyproto/anytype-mcp |
| 68 | ``` |

| 84 | { |
| 85 | "mcpServers": { |
| 86 | "anytype": { |
| 87 | "command": "anytype-mcp", |
