# MCP Setup

> Connect AI clients to the Sari MCP Server

This guide shows you how to connect AI clients to the Sari MCP Server.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. **Approved Sari Account** - Your registration must be approved (see [Quickstart](/quickstart))
2. **Claude Desktop** - Or another MCP-compatible client

## Claude Desktop Setup

### Using mcp-remote

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "sari-platform": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "mcp-remote",
            "https://mcp-server.sari-platform.com/sse"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "sari-platform": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "mcp-remote",
            "https://mcp-server.sari-platform.com/sse"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Verify Connection

After configuring Claude Desktop:

1. Restart Claude Desktop
2. Open a new conversation
3. You should see "sari-platform" in the MCP tools list
4. Try a test query:

```
Can you search for payment APIs using the Sari platform?
```

Claude should call the `search_api_collections` tool.

## Troubleshooting

    2. Check JSON syntax is valid
    3. Restart Claude Desktop completely

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Collection not found">
