Get started#

The Scrive MCP server connects MCP clients to Scrive’s document automation platform. You run it on your own machine — over stdio for local clients such as Claude Desktop, or as an HTTP server (scrive-mcp http) for clients that connect over HTTP.

This guide covers the stdio setup with Claude Desktop.

Configuring Claude Desktop#

1. Install the package#

The package is published to the public npm registry, so no authentication is required.
