Requirements

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) * _SWYTCHCODE_API_KEY_: To interact with Sywtchcode APIs, you'll need to have an [account with Swytchcode](https://docs.swytchcode.com/quickstart/account/).

Obtain Swytchcode API Key

Open `api_key.sh` file and replace the following parameters with your own ```sh EMAIL="USERNAME" PASSWORD="PASSWORD" ```

Run the following command to obtain the Swytchcode API key ```sh

Permissions

chmod +x api_key.sh

Execute script

./api_key.sh ```

**Note:** Ensure `jq` is installed on your system

Replace the value with your actual key in `index.ts` file ```sh const SWYTCHCODE_API_KEY = "YOUR KEY" ```

Installation

```sh cd swytchcode-mcp-server

install dependencies

npm install

build project

npm run build ```

Configuration with Claude Desktop

Mac/Linux

Open the file with any code editor. We are using VSC in our case ``` code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ```

and paste the following after modifying the path to your script

```json { "mcpServers": { "swytchcode": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/swytchcode-mcp-server/build/index.js" ] } } } ```

Windows

Open the following file

```sh code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json ```

and paste the following after modifying the path to your script

```json { "mcpServers": { "swytchcode": { "command": "node", "args": [ "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\swytchcode-mcp-server\\build\\index.js" ] } } } ```

Invoking from Claude Desktop

Restart Calude Desktop after the changes are made to the `claude_desktop_config.json` file. You should now see 2 new tools installed

1. *swytchcode-generate-code*
2. *swytchcode-list-options*

Try running the following command ``` list workflows stripe:v3 * ``` If you see an output, then congratulations! you have installed Swytchcode MCP server successfully 🎉🎉
