You need a personal access token before any MCP client can reach your data. Create one from Settings → API → Tokens in the dashboard — see Authentication for the full walkthrough. Copy the token now; you won't be able to see it again after you close the creation dialog.
Claude Desktop reads its MCP server list from a config file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonAdd a stector entry under mcpServers, pointing at the /mcp endpoint with your token in an Authorization header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"stector": {
"url": "https://api.stector.app/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer stc_..."
}
}
}
}Replace the placeholder with your actual token, save the file, and restart Claude Desktop.
Once Claude Desktop restarts, ask it something simple that requires a real tool call — "list my monitors" or "what's the status of my status page?" If the connection and token are both working, Claude responds with your actual data rather than saying it can't access Stector. See Tools for the full list of what you can ask it to do.
