Claude Desktop uses the same OAuth 2.1 + PKCE flow as the web client, with a loopback redirect to localhost.

​
Steps

1

Open Claude Desktop's connector settings

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2

Enter the URL

https://mcp.trodo.ai/mcp
3

Complete consent in your browser

Desktop opens your default browser to app.trodo.ai/connect/mcp. Sign in, choose the team and scopes, click Allow access. The browser redirects back to Desktop on a localhost port and the connector finishes connecting.

​
Manual config (advanced)

If you’d rather edit the config file directly, find Claude Desktop’s MCP config at:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add (replacing the example token): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trodo": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.trodo.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer trodo_mk_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
That manual path uses a direct API key instead of OAuth — generate one from Integrations → MCP for Claude & Cursor on Growth or Enterprise.

​
Plan requirement

Same as web: the team you select must be on Growth or Enterprise.

​
Revoking

Either via Claude Desktop’s connector UI, or from Trodo: Integrations → MCP for Claude & Cursor → Revoke the active grant.
