Claude Desktop Setup Guide
Connect AppHighway MCP tools to Anthropic's Claude Desktop app
Important: Install tools first!
Before configuring your MCP client, you must install tools on AppHighway. The MCP endpoint rejects connections for tools not installed on your account.
Prerequisites
You need an AppHighway API token. Generate one in your Dashboard.
