Learn how to configure the Claude desktop application to securely connect to the Reltio AgentFlow MCP Server so that Claude can access governed, context aware data.

1. Locate the configuration file for Claude desktop based on your OS:

   Operating system	Configuration file path
   Windows	%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   Linux	~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Open or create the configuration file in a JSON-capable text editor with the following base structure:

   
   {
     "mcpServers": {}
   }
               

3. Add the Reltio AgentFlow MCP Server connection under the mcpServers object.
   AgentFlow MCP via npx

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "reltio-mcp-server": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "mcp-remote",
           "https://<reltio-namespace>.reltio.com/ai/tools/mcp/",
           "9696",
           "--header",
           "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
         ],
         "env": {
           "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN>"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   • Replace <reltio-namespace> with the namespace of your tenant (for example, test). This ensures the MCP connection targets the correct tenant-specific endpoint.
   • Replace <YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN> with a valid authentication token for that tenant. This token authorizes the agent or tool to access the MCP server securely..

   Note:

   • The MCP server listens on port 9696.
   • The npx command fetches and runs the MCP tool automatically.
4. Save your configuration file.
5. Validate the JSON file syntax using a validator tool or command-line utility:
   • Windows PowerShell

     
     Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json" | ConvertFrom-Json
                          

   • macOS/Linux

     
     python -m json.tool ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
                          

6. Restart the Claude desktop application.
   1. Completely exit Claude, ensuring no background processes are running.
   2. Reopen Claude to apply your configuration.
