Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop is good for exploring your data in conversation. It can read and act on GetIntel, but it can’t edit your code; use a coding agent for that.

Connect with sign-in (recommended)

1. Open Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Paste https://app.getintel.ai/mcp and save.
4. Claude sends you to GetIntel to sign in, then to an approval page. Pick a brand if you have more than one, tick Also allow actions if Claude should update tasks and plan your week, then click Connect.
5. Ask: “Using GetIntel, what are my weakest topics this week?”

Note

The access token this creates lasts 2 hours and refreshes itself automatically, on the same brand, for as long as the connector stays added.

Use a token instead

For an older Claude Desktop without Connectors, bridge through mcp-remote:

1. Create a token in GetIntel under Integrations.

2. Open the config. In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config.

3. Add GetIntel:

   claude_desktop_config.json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "getintel": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.getintel.ai/mcp",
           "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"]
       }
     }
   }

4. Restart Claude Desktop. GetIntel’s tools appear in the tools menu.

Note

This bridges through mcp-remote with npx, so Node.js must be installed.
