Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop runs local (stdio) servers natively. To connect to Think4Ever's remote HTTP server, Claude Desktop utilizes the mcp-remote bridge utility via Node.js to bridge the communication transport layer.

Technical Integration#

Follow these configuration steps to register the Think4Ever MCP server within your Claude Desktop application.

Desktop runs local (stdio) servers, so use the mcp-remote  bridge (requires Node.js for npx).

Step 1#

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Think4Ever": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://cell-ssm-use1-0005.us.portal.think4ever.com/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer tf_71b84ebb8284f86491f24b85311a55dfd2b0c9e74c678c7e"]
    }
  }
}

Step 2#

Restart Claude Desktop — the Think4Ever tools appear in the tools menu. (On Pro/Team, you can alternatively add it as a custom Connector in settings.)

Step 3#

Start a chat and mention your project — Claude will ask permission the first time it uses each tool.

Who is this for?

Claude Desktop is specifically optimized for the non-coding side of a project workspace. It provides product owners, business analysts, and project leads a straightforward way to interact with the project structure, review concepts, plan work sprint schedules, and triage issues without launching a code editor.
