Use ActiveCollab in Claude (desktop)

ActiveCollab exposes a MPC server. But the documentation on how to configure it in Claude is brief.

In ActiveCollab

1. Go to Apps & Integrations → MCP.
2. Click Add MCP Client.
3. Enter your password.
4. Select Claude.
5. Click Add.

In Claude

1. Open Claude.app
2. Open the settings ⌘ + ,
3. Click “Developer”. You will see the “Local MCP servers”
4. Click “Edit config”
5. Open the file claude_desktop_config.json with your favorite texteditor
6. Search for the section `mcpServers` if it is present. If not you can create it
7. Add the config that ActiveCollab provided

It will end up something like below:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ActiveCollab Project Management": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "...",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${AUTH_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_TOKEN": "..."
      }
    }
  },
  "preferences": {
    ...
  }
}
