This article is a follow-up to Springcast MCP: Getting Started and will help you set up the Springcast MCP in Claude.
How to set it up (Step-by-Step)
Follow these steps to connect Springcast to the Claude Desktop client:
1. Create an API Token
Log in to Springcast PRO and navigate to your Workspace Settings.
Go to the API Settings tab.
Create a new API token and ensure you select both the "MCP" and "Content API" scopes.
Copy the token and keep it in a safe place!
2. Configure Claude
Open the Claude Desktop app.
Go to Settings -> Developer.
Click Edit config. This will open a configuration file (usually
claude_desktop_config.json).Open this file with a text editor such as Notepad, VS Code, or Sublime Text.
3. Add the Configuration
Add the code below to the file. Replace <your-api-token> with the token you created in step 1:
JSON
{
"mcpServers": {
"springcast": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://work.springcast.app/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>"
]
}
}
}
4. Restart and Test
Close Claude completely and restart the app.
Start a new chat.
Test if it works! For example, ask: "Which podcast shows do I have in Springcast?"
