Claude Desktop

Set up Trinity Insights MCP in Anthropic's Claude Desktop application. Compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux.

Configuration

Configuration type: JSON

File location: Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json | Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "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

Install Claude Desktop
Download the latest version from Anthropic's official website. Accept the terms of service.
Retrieve your Trinity API key
Sign in at trinityinsights.io, navigate to Dashboard → Settings → API Keys MCP, and create a key dedicated to Claude Desktop with a clear description (useful for targeted revocation later).
Locate the configuration file
The path differs by OS (see 'File location' below). If the file does not exist, create it.
Paste the configuration
Replace YOUR_TRINITY_API_KEY with your real key. Check JSON validity (single root object, correct commas).
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit the application completely, then relaunch it. Trinity MCP tools will appear in the tool palette.
Test with a simple prompt
Ask Claude: "Retrieve the latest MVRV Z-Score value via Trinity Insights." Claude should call the get_chart_value tool and return the value with its interpretation context.

Notes

If Claude Desktop does not recognise the configuration, check the logs: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp.log (Mac) or %APPDATA%/Claude/logs/mcp.log (Windows).
Trinity MCP requires a Claude Desktop build that supports Streamable HTTP transport.
