indigo setup mcp

The setup mcp command configures Claude Desktop to access your Indigo data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). After setup, you can query your signals, meetings, and decisions directly from Claude.

Setup

indigo setup mcp

This command:

1. Triggers an OAuth flow to authenticate with Indigo
2. Generates an MCP server configuration
3. Writes the configuration to the Claude Desktop config file
4. Validates the connection

Note

Requires Indigo CLI v0.2 or later. Run indigo --version to check.

Config file location

The command writes to the Claude Desktop configuration file at the appropriate path for your platform:

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Linux

~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Transport

The MCP server uses StreamableHTTP transport for reliable, persistent connections between Claude Desktop and the Indigo API. This handles reconnection and message delivery automatically.

What it enables

Once configured, Claude Desktop can:

Capability	Example prompt in Claude
Query signals	”What decisions were made this week?”
Search meetings	”Find my meetings with the engineering team”
Review action items	”What action items are assigned to me?”
Cross-reference	”What was decided about pricing in last Tuesday’s meeting?”

Your signals, meetings, and decisions become part of Claude’s context, queryable through natural language.

Verify the setup

After running indigo setup mcp, restart Claude Desktop and try a query:

What signals do I have from this week?

If Claude returns your signal data, the MCP connection is working.

Caution

If Claude cannot access your data, verify that you are authenticated (indigo auth status) and that Claude Desktop has been restarted after configuration.
