Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop launches MCP servers as local commands, so it connects through the small @zingasuite/mcp bridge, which relays to the remote server.

Configure

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zingasuite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@zingasuite/mcp"],
      "env": { "ZINGASUITE_API_KEY": "zk_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The zingasuite tools appear in the tools menu.

How it works

npx -y @zingasuite/mcp downloads and runs the bridge, which speaks stdio to Claude Desktop and Streamable HTTP to https://mcp.zingasuite.com/mcp, forwarding your key. You never have to update the bridge when Zingasuite adds tools — they all live server-side. See the local npx bridge for details and options.

Requirements

Node.js 18+ installed (for npx).
A zk_ key — see Authentication & keys.

Troubleshooting

No tools appear — check the key is set in env and Node is on your PATH.
missing_bearer_token — ZINGASUITE_API_KEY isn't reaching the bridge; confirm the env block.
