Slite MCP (Local) - Deprecated

Warning Deprecated — The local Slite MCP server is no longer supported. Please use the remote MCP server instead:  Slite MCP⁠  (endpoint: https://api.slite.com/mcp).
The instructions below are kept for historical reference only.
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 .
Please refer to this guide if you would like to set up the remote Slite MCP Server:  ⁠⁠Slite MCP⁠ .
Your npx needs to be at a recent enough version, 11.6.0+ working.

1) Install Claude Desktop or any other MCP client

Before you begin, make sure you have  Claude Desktop  correctly installed.
You can take the guide above as inspiration for other clients.

2) Create a personal API Key

    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.

3) Configure Claude to use Slite MCP

You need to edit the Claude configuration file to enables it to connect to MCP servers.
# Create the Claude desktop config file if it doesn't exist
touch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

# Opens the config file in TextEdit
open -e "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

# Alternative method using Visual Studio Code
code "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"
Then, add the appropriate configuration in this claude_desktop_config.json file.
