Claude Desktop Integration

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orshot": {
      "command": "node", // or output of "which node"
      "args": ["/path/to/orshot-mcp-server/build/index.js"], // update the path
      "env": { "ORSHOT_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } // add Orshot API Key
