Claude Desktop

Prerequisites

GoldenClaw API key (create one here)
Claude Desktop installed

Setup

1. Open Config File

Open the Claude Desktop configuration file in your text editor:

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Linux

~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

If the file doesn't exist, create it.

2. Add GoldenClaw Server

Add the following to your config file:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "goldenclaw": {
      "url": "https://stage.goldenclaw.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

Existing servers

If you already have other MCP servers configured, add goldenclaw alongside them inside the mcpServers object.

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

4. Verify Connection

Start a new conversation and type:

"What's the current BTC/USDT price on Binance futures?"

You should see Claude use the get_price tool and return the current price.

Example Prompts

"Calculate RSI for ETH/USDT on the 4h timeframe on Bybit"

"What are my open positions on Binance futures?"

"Show me Bollinger Bands for SOL/USDT on OKX"

"Analyze BTC/USDT: get price, RSI, and MACD on the 4h chart"

Troubleshooting

"Connection refused" or "Server not found"

Check that the URL is exactly https://stage.goldenclaw.sh/mcp and your config file is valid JSON.

"Unauthorized" error

Your API key may have expired or been revoked. Generate a new one from your Dashboard.

Tools not appearing

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config file. Check that the JSON syntax is correct — a missing comma or bracket will silently fail.
