MCP Setup Guide
Step-by-step setup guide for connecting BatchEdits to Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other MCP-compatible AI clients in under a minute.
Prerequisites
- An active BatchEdits account — see plans
- An API Key / OAuth Token generated from your Settings dashboard
Note on Authentication: BatchEdits uses API keys or OAuth Client Credentials (Bearer Tokens) for secure remote MCP connections. You can easily generate a key from your settings dashboard.
Claude Code or Windsurf
Add this to your ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"batchedits": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://batchedits.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Replace your_api_key_here with the API key generated in settings to access your workspace.
Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"batchedits": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://batchedits.com/mcp",
"--header",
"x-api-key: your_api_key_here"
]
}
}
}Requires Node.js installed. Replace your_api_key_here with your custom API key to link Claude to your workspace.
Custom GPTs & OpenClaw
For clients that support standard OAuth 2.0 flows (like ChatGPT Custom Actions), use our OAuth endpoints:
- Authorization URL:
https://batchedits.com/api/oauth/authorize - Token URL:
https://batchedits.com/api/oauth/token
For terminal clients (like OpenClaw), pass the token securely as an environment variable or config:
openclaw config set env.BATCHEDITS_API_KEY your_api_key_here
openclaw config set mcp.servers.batchedits '{"type": "sse", "url": "https://batchedits.com/mcp"}'Tool Reference
Once connected, your AI discovers these tools automatically and knows exactly when to use them.
