Claude Desktop

Connect Claude Desktop to the CoreClaw MCP Server so Claude can discover CoreClaw workers, run them, monitor runs, and retrieve results directly from your conversations.

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop installed

Step 3: Save and Restart

Click Save.
Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

Verify the Connection

Open a new conversation in Claude Desktop.
Look for the tool icon in the message input area.
Ask Claude: “Find Amazon workers on CoreClaw.”
Claude should call list_store_workers and return matching workers.

Example Conversation

You: Find a Google Maps worker and extract restaurant data near Times Square, New York.

Claude: I’ll find a Google Maps worker, inspect its input schema, and run it for you. [Calls list_store_workers -> get_worker_input_schema -> run_worker -> get_worker_run -> list_worker_run_results]

Troubleshooting

Check the Claude Desktop logs for connection errors.
Verify your API key is correct and active.

Ensure the api-key header value matches your CoreClaw API key exactly.
