Developed by Anthropic, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. The Slite MCP Server allows you to use the Slite API in your MCP clients. It is compatible with any MCP client, such as Cursor or Claude Desktop . Before you begin, make sure you have Claude Desktop correctly installed. You can take the guide above as inspiration for other clients.
Click your workspace logo in the top-left corner.
Select Settings from the menu, then go to the API
section.

Click Create new key

Personal API keys should not be shared — they grant access to all the sources you have access to.
You need to edit the Claude configuration file to enables it to connect to MCP servers.
touch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"
open -e "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"
code "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"
Then, add the appropriate configuration in this claude_desktop_config.json
file.
