Installation
First, make sure you've got the Claude Desktop app installed and you've requested an OpenAI API key.
Add this entry to your claude_desktop_config.json (on Mac, you'll find it at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-openai": {
"command": "npx",

"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here (get one from https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)"
}
}
}
}
This config lets Claude Desktop fire up the OpenAI MCP server whenever you need it.
