How do I configure Claude Desktop to use this server?

Edit `claude_desktop_config.json` (found via Claude Desktop's Developer settings or at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS, or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows) and add the server configuration with the `DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID` and `DESCOPE_MANAGEMENT_KEY` environment variables.

What transport methods are supported?

The server can run on stdio (`npm run start:stdio`) or SSE (`npm run start:sse`).

What credentials does it need?

It reads `DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID`, `DESCOPE_MANAGEMENT_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
