To use the Api200 MCP server with Claude Desktop, open Developer settings, add a new custom tool with the command npx api200-mcp@latest and set the environment variable USER_KEY to your API key. Alternatively, self-host the platform using Docker and the provided setup script, then access the frontend at http://<hostname>:3000 and the API handler at http://<hostname>:8080.
