Claude Desktop Setup

Connect Claude Desktop to the Hyperstack API MCP Server as a custom connector, with nothing to install.

Claude Desktop reaches the MCP Server natively over HTTP, as a custom connector, so there is nothing to install.

Important: Live Infrastructure Changes & Data Loss Risk

This MCP server can create, modify, and delete real Hyperstack resources, which may incur charges on your account. Always review actions before confirming them. NexGen Cloud is not liable for any unintended resource usage, costs, or data loss resulting from the use of this tool. Use it at your own risk.

Using Claude Code Instead

Claude Code also connects to the MCP Server directly over HTTP. See Claude Code in the connection guide.

Connect to the MCP Server

Claude Desktop connects to the MCP Server as a custom connector, so there is nothing to install. The only prerequisite is the latest version of Claude Desktop.

1. Add the Custom Connector

   1. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings
   2. Select Connectors
   3. Click Add, then Add custom connector
   4. In the Name field, enter a name for the server, for example Hyperstack
   5. In the Remote MCP server URL field, enter the MCP Server URL
   6. Click Add
   MCP Server URL

   https://console.hyperstack.cloud/ai/mcp

2. Authenticate

   The connector now appears in the Connectors list. Click Connect to start the authentication flow.

   Your browser opens the Hyperstack sign-in page. Sign in to your Hyperstack account and approve access, then return to Claude Desktop, where the connector is shown as connected. Claude Desktop stores the resulting credentials and renews them for you, so you sign in once.

3. Validate the Connection

   Start a new chat and enter the following prompt:

   Show me all hyperstack tools

   This prompt instructs Claude Desktop to query the connected MCP Server and retrieve the list of exposed tools. If the connector is configured correctly, Claude returns the available MCP operations without errors.

Troubleshooting

If Claude Desktop does not connect successfully:

• Confirm the connector's Remote MCP server URL is https://console.hyperstack.cloud/ai/mcp.
• Confirm the connector shows as connected in Settings → Connectors, and complete the browser sign-in if it does not.
