              Using Claude Desktop to Access the Token API via MCP

              Prerequisites

              • Claude Desktop⁠ installed.
              • A JWT token from The Graph Market⁠.
              • npx⁠ or bunx⁠ installed and available in your path.
              • The @pinax/mcp package requires Node 18+, as it relies on built-in fetch() / Headers, which are not available in Node 17 or older. You may need to specify an exact path to an up-to-date Node version, or uninstall previous versions of Node to ensure @pinax/mcp uses the correct version.

              Configuration

              Create or edit your claude_desktop_config.json file.

              • OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
              • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
              • Linux: .config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
              claude_desktop_config.json
              1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "token-api": {4      "command": "npx",5      "args": ["@pinax/mcp", "--sse-url", "https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/sse"],6      "env": {7        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "<https://thegraph.market JWT Access Token>"8      }9    }10  }11}

              Troubleshooting

              To enable logs for the MCP, add the option "--verbose", "true" under "args".

              ENOENT

              Error dialog in Claude Desktop showing 'ENOENT' system error, indicating the npx/bunx command wasn't found in the system path.

              Try to use the full path of the command instead:

              • Run which npx or which bunx in the command line interface to get the path of the command.
              • Replace npx or bunx in the configuration file with the full path (e.g. /home/user/bin/bunx).

              Server disconnected

              Connection error notification in Claude Desktop displaying 'Server disconnected' message.

              Double-check your API key. Otherwise, look in your navigator if https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/sse is reachable.
