Claude Desktop uses Claude's remote custom connectors for a hosted server such as Forvibe. The legacy claude_desktop_config.json flow is for local desktop extensions and local MCP processes; do not use it to configure this hosted HTTP endpoint.

Setup

1

Open connector management

In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector or Manage Connectors. Claude may open the account connector page in your browser.

2

Add Forvibe

  • Name: Forvibe
  • Remote MCP server URL: https://forvibe.app/mcp
  • Leave optional OAuth client credentials blank.
3

Approve OAuth

Connect the account, approve access in the Forvibe browser window, and return to Claude Desktop. Enable Forvibe from the conversation's tools menu.

4

Verify

Ask: "Use Forvibe to list my projects." Claude should request list_projects.

The connector is account-based, so the same remote connection can also appear in Claude web and mobile. Team and Enterprise workspaces may require an Owner to add Forvibe first; see Claude Custom Connector.
