Claude Desktop

Connect Desktop Insights MCP server to Claude Desktop for desktop app technology lookups.

Remote server (recommended)

  1. Open Claude Desktop settings
  2. Go to Settings > Connectors
  3. Add a new connector with the URL:
https://desktopinsights.com/mcp

When prompted, enter your API key from your dashboard.

Local server (npm)

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "desktopinsights": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "desktopinsights-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DESKTOPINSIGHTS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key, then restart Claude Desktop.

Verify

Ask Claude:

What SDKs does Figma use?

Claude should call the lookup_app tool and return Figma's full technology stack.
