Installation
The Syncello MCP server is remote — no local installation needed. You configure your MCP client to connect to Syncello's endpoint with your API key.
Prerequisites
- A Syncello account with at least one connected platform
- An MCP API key (generated from Settings → API Keys)
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client)
Step 1: Get Your MCP API Key
- Log in to app.syncello.io
- Go to Settings → API Keys
- Click Create MCP Key
- Select the tools and platforms you want to expose
- Copy the generated key
Step 2: Configure Your Client
Claude Desktop
Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config file:
| OS | Config File Location |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json |
| Linux | ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
{
"mcpServers": {
"syncello": {
"url": "https://api.syncello.io/v1/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
}
}
}
} Claude Code
Add to your project's .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"syncello": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://api.syncello.io/v1/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
}
}
}
} Step 3: Verify Connection
After configuring, restart your MCP client. You should see Syncello tools appear in your tool list. Try asking:
"List all my Tape workspaces"
Troubleshooting: If tools don't appear, check that your API key is valid and that you've connected at least one platform in the Syncello dashboard.
