Add soclip to your claude_desktop_config.json (located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"soclip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "soclip-mcp"],
"env": {
"SOCLIP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}

"env": {
"SOCLIP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
