Authorization
The Oktopost MCP Server supports multiple authentication flows depending on the client type. All methods authenticate against the Oktopost REST API and respect the user's roles, permissions, and asset-level access.
Desktop Clients (Local Configuration)
Desktop MCP clients authenticate using environment variables defined in your local MCP configuration file. To run the MCP server locally, you must have Node.js v20 or higher installed and access to your Oktopost Account ID, Region, and API Key.
Example: How to Connect Claude Desktop
- Add a local MCP server (using a command).
- Open Claude Desktop's Settings and go to the Developer tab.
- Click the Edit Config button to open the
claude_desktop_config.jsonfile. - Add a new entry to the mcpServers section with a name, command, and args that point to your server's executable and its arguments (for example, a Python script).
- Save the file.
- Close and restart Claude Desktop to reload the configuration and enable the server.

ChatGPT & Claude (OAuth)
