Setting Up Claude Desktop

This page walks through connecting the Revnator MCP server to Claude Desktop. The same server works with Cursor and other MCP clients — only the location of the config file differs.

Step 1 — Generate an API key

In the Revnator app, open Settings → API and generate an API key. Copy it immediately — the full key is shown only once. See API Reference → Authentication for details.

Step 2 — Copy the MCP config

Settings → API also has an MCP setup card with a "Copy config" button. It produces a configuration block already filled in for your workspace.

Step 3 — Add it to Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop's configuration file, claude_desktop_config.json, and add the Revnator entry under mcpServers. The block looks like this:

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "revnator": {
4      "command": "npx",
5      "args": ["-y", "@revnator/mcp"],
6      "env": {
7        "REVNATOR_API_KEY": "rvn_live_your_key_here",
8        "REVNATOR_BASE_URL": "https://app.revnator.com"
9      }
10    }
11  }
12}
Copy

Step 4 — Restart

Restart Claude Desktop. Once it reloads, the Revnator tools become available and you can ask the assistant to work with your contacts, deals, and pipeline.
