Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop connects to remote MCP servers through a small local proxy (mcp-remote).

Open the MCP config

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json.

Add Spiral Stake

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spiralstake": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.spiralstake.xyz/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop

The Spiral tools appear in the tools menu. Ask: “List Spiral’s stable strategies.”

mcp-remote bridges Claude Desktop (which speaks stdio) to the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint. It’s fetched on demand via npx — no global install needed.
