Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop is Anthropic's native desktop application for Claude. By connecting Claude Desktop to Sazabi's MCP server, you can have natural conversations about your production systems.

About Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop provides a dedicated application for interacting with Claude outside the browser. With MCP support, Claude Desktop can connect to external services like Sazabi, giving you conversational access to your observability data.

Prerequisites

Before configuring Claude Desktop to use Sazabi, make sure you have:

• Claude Desktop installed: Download from claude.ai/download.
• A Sazabi secret key: Create one in Settings -> API Keys in the Sazabi dashboard. Select Secret as the key type.

Configuration

Claude Desktop uses MCP servers defined in its configuration file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sazabi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sazabi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Sazabi-Secret-Key": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sazabi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sazabi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Sazabi-Secret-Key": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace <YOUR_SECRET_KEY> with your actual Sazabi secret key.

Verifying the connection

After configuring Claude Desktop:

1. Restart Claude Desktop completely.
2. Start a new conversation.
3. Ask Claude to use Sazabi:

Use Sazabi to list my projects

If configured correctly, Claude will use Sazabi's MCP tools to fetch your project information.

Using Sazabi tools

Once connected, you can ask Claude Desktop to query your observability data:

Ask Sazabi what errors occurred in the last hour
Use Sazabi to investigate the recent latency spike
Search Sazabi for logs mentioning "database connection"

Troubleshooting

MCP server not appearing

If Sazabi does not appear as an available MCP server:

1. Verify the configuration file exists at the correct path.
2. Ensure the JSON is valid.
3. Completely quit and restart Claude Desktop.

Connection errors

If you see connection errors:

1. Verify your secret key is correct and has not been revoked.
2. Check that the URL is exactly https://mcp.sazabi.com/mcp.
3. Ensure your network can reach mcp.sazabi.com.
