Install in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop reads MCP server configuration from the desktop app settings or the claude_desktop_config.json file.

Config

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hoist-assets": {
      "url": "https://mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Steps

1. Open Claude Desktop settings.
2. Use Developer -> Edit Config, or edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows.
3. Add the hoist-assets entry under mcpServers.
4. Quit and reopen Claude Desktop.
5. Approve OAuth the first time Claude asks to use a Hoist tool.

Smoke test

Ask: “Use Hoist Assets to look up ABN 11 695 718 659 and tell me the registered business name.” Claude should call abn_lookup.

Troubleshooting

• If the OAuth window does not open, check your default browser and pop-up settings.
• If tools do not appear after install, restart Claude Desktop completely.
• If calls return 403, re-approve OAuth because the cached token may have expired or had scopes revoked.
