Connect APIDelta to Claude
APIDelta ships an MCP server so Claude can answer questions like "what broke in our APIs this week?" with live data from your team's monitored sources — no copy-pasting changelogs.
1. Mint an API key
Go to Dashboard → Settings → API Keys and create a key. Copy it once — APIDelta only stores a hash, so you can't see it again.
2a. Claude Code (HTTP — recommended)
Claude Code supports HTTP MCP transport directly. One command:
claude mcp add --transport http apidelta https://api.apidelta.dev/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ad_live_..."
Replace ad_live_… with the key you just minted. Restart Claude Code, then ask "list my APIDelta sources."
2b. Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote)
Claude Desktop reaches HTTP MCP servers via the mcp-remote proxy. Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your OS:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apidelta": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://api.apidelta.dev/api/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer ad_live_..."
]
}
}
}Quit and re-launch Claude Desktop. The hammer icon at the bottom of any chat shows the available APIDelta tools.
