Applications

To start the stdio server, you can run the following command:

npx @tollbit/mcp-toolbox --api-key $YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

You can also include a command line flag --toolbox-id to specify a toolbox id to connect to. This is useful for having different sets of tools available to multiple agents/applications.

​

Claude Desktop

We have a script you can execute to automatically update your Claude config to connect with the mcp-toolbox mentioned above.

To install it, simply run:

npx -p @tollbit/mcp-toolbox install_claude --api-key $YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

This script will update your claude_desktop_config.json to launch the toolbox. This script may only work on Mac OS at the moment, but you can easily update your config manually.

​

Manual Setup

Follow the official MCP steps for configuring Claude Desktop, found here.

Your config should look like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@tollbit/mcp-toolbox": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tollbit/mcp-toolbox", "--api-key", "<your api key here>"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Integrations

If you’re using a Claude with a Max Subscription, you can use the new Claude Integrations feature to connect to your Tollbit Toolbox.

1. Open the Claude app and go to the “Integrations” tab. Go to the Integrations section in your Settings > Profile, and select “Add more”.

2. Add the integration using the following URL: https://mcp.tollbit.dev/mcp/sse, this will connect to your default toolbox.

   If you have a specific toolbox you want to connect to, you can replace the mcp path with the toolbox id that you’d like to use, for example https://mcp.tollbit.dev/tbx_f3ekqir2bch2g7angxjwle1e/sse

3. Click “Connect” to initiate an OAuth flow to allow Claude to invoke tools on your behalf.

4. Once connected, you can use the integration in your conversations with Claude.
