Claude Desktop

Not yet available. Claude Desktop has no custom inference-endpoint setting, and OpenDunes does not expose the Anthropic Messages API yet — today, use the OpenDunes chat with Anthropic models, or an OpenAI-compatible coding agent (Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode).

Claude Desktop is Anthropic's desktop app for chatting with Claude. It talks exclusively to Anthropic's own service — its claude_desktop_config.json file configures MCP servers, not where inference requests go — so there is no supported way to route its model calls through OpenDunes and bill them to your DA balance today.

What works today#

• OpenDunes chat — open /chat and pick an Anthropic model from the catalog. A full conversation experience, billed in DA from your balance.
• OpenAI-compatible coding agents — Codex CLI, Cursor, and OpenCode all accept a custom base URL and work with OpenDunes now.

Claude Desktop and MCP#

Claude Desktop's real configuration surface is the Model Context Protocol. Its config file — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows — declares MCP servers under a single mcpServers key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/dir"]
    }
  }
}

This attaches tools to your Claude Desktop conversations; it does not change which API the app bills against. See Using MCP Servers for how MCP relates to the OpenDunes API.

Next steps#

• API Keys — manage keys and set per-key budgets.
• Claude Code — the intended CLI-agent integration (also waiting on the Messages endpoint).
• Models — browse which models are available and their DA pricing.
