⚙️Setup & Connection

Everything you need to connect the Dapta MCP to Claude: prerequisites, then three short steps to mint a key, connect your Claude client, and verify it all works.

Connecting takes a few minutes. You mint an API key, connect your client, and run a quick check. The path differs slightly by client: Claude Desktop and Cowork install a single plugin with your key already baked in, Claude Code runs one command, and Codex and Cursor add a small config entry. Either way, once you are connected, your assistant already knows how to work with Dapta. There is nothing extra to install.

Your key is scoped to a single workspace, so Claude only ever sees and works with that one workspace's data. You never have to tell Claude which workspace to use.

Prerequisites

• A Dapta account with access to a workspace.

• Workspace-owner access to mint an API key. If you are not an owner, ask your workspace owner for a key.

• The client you want to use: Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

The plugin works in Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code today, and it does not work in the regular Claude.ai chat. Codex and Cursor connect with a small config file instead of the plugin.
