Claude

Custom Connectors require a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan.

The Intelligems MCP can be integrated with both Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Please see the applicable instructions below:

Claude Desktop

Due to a Claude Desktop bug, MCP setup via the Connectors page is not currently supported. Please follow steps below.

Quick Install

macOS / Linux

Open Terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://static.intelligems.io/mcp/claude-desktop/install.sh | bash

Windows

Open PowerShell and run:

irm https://static.intelligems.io/mcp/claude-desktop/install.ps1 | iex

After installation, restart Claude Desktop to activate the Intelligems MCP server.

Getting "Server disconnected" error?

This usually means Node.js/npx is not found. See the Node.js troubleshooting guide for solutions.

Manual Install

Claude Desktop supports remote MCP servers with OAuth authentication. Add the Intelligems MCP Server via the UI:

1. Open Claude in the desktop app

2. Click your profile name in the sidebar and select Settings

3. Click Developer

4. Choose "Edit Config"

1. Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

1. Add the following MCP server entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intelligems":
        {
            "command": "npx",
            "args":
            [
                "-y",
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp"
            ]
        }
  }
}

1. Save and restart Claude Desktop

2. When starting a new chat, confirm that Intelligems is toggled on in the options menu, pictured below

In order to avoid hitting "Allow" every time Claude pulls information from Intelligems, go to Settings > Connectors > Configure next to Intelligems > switch the dropdown next to "Read-only tools" to "Always allow".

Claude Code

Add the Intelligems MCP Server using the CLI:

# Add with HTTP transport (recommended)
claude mcp add --transport http intelligems https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp

# Or with SSE transport
claude mcp add --transport sse intelligems https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp/sse

When you first use the server, Claude Code will trigger a browser-based OAuth login. Complete the authentication flow to authorize access to your Intelligems account. Tokens are stored securely and refresh automatically.

Alternatively, you can add the server to your .mcp.json configuration file in your project root or ~/.claude.json for user-wide access:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intelligems": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ai.intelligems.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Management commands:

claude mcp list           # View all configured servers
claude mcp get intelligems # Get server details
claude mcp remove intelligems # Remove the server
