Official website →

Configuration

Configuration type: JSON

File location: ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json (or via the `claude mcp add` command)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trinity-insights": {
      "url": "https://mcp.trinityinsights.io/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TRINITY_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_TRINITY_API_KEY with the API key you will generate in the next step.

Setup steps

  1. Install Claude Code
    Follow Anthropic's official documentation to install Claude Code via npm or the provided binary.
  2. Retrieve your Trinity API key
    Dashboard → Settings → API Keys MCP. Create a key dedicated to Claude Code.
  3. Configure the MCP server
    Option A: edit ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json manually. Option B: use the command `claude mcp add trinity-insights --url ... --header 'Authorization: Bearer ...'`.
  4. Verify the registration
    Run `claude mcp list`. Trinity Insights should appear with the connected status.
  5. First tool call
    In a Claude Code session, ask: "List the on-chain charts available in Trinity." The list_metrics tool will be called.

Notes

  • Claude Code accepts environment variables: store the key in TRINITY_MCP_API_KEY and reference it via ${TRINITY_MCP_API_KEY} in the header.
  • Logs available via `claude mcp logs trinity-insights`.
