Claude Desktop uses a single JSON config file. Edit it manually or through the Settings UI.

Via the UI

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config. Claude Desktop opens your default JSON editor on the config file.

Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "versuno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "versuno-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VERSUNO_API_KEY": "uk_live_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
If you already have other MCP servers configured, add the versuno block alongside them. Do not replace the full mcpServers object.

Restart

Claude Desktop only reads the config on startup. Quit the app fully (menu bar, not just the window) and reopen it.

Verify

Open a new chat. You should see a tool icon in the input area indicating MCP tools are available. Click it to see the list. Versuno should contribute 5 tools.

Troubleshooting

Claude Desktop shows MCP errors under Settings > Developer > MCP. Check the server status there. See the generic Troubleshooting guide for common causes.
