Connect LeadClaw to Claude Desktop & Cursor (MCP)
Key Takeaway
LeadClaw supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — generate an API key in Settings > API & Integrations, add it to your Claude Desktop or Cursor config via npx @leadclaw/mcp-server, and you can then query campaign stats, leads, and inbox data directly from your AI tool.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor talk directly to LeadClaw. Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:
- "Show me my campaign stats"
- "What hot leads came in this week?"
- "Pause my outreach campaign"
LeadClaw responds with live data from your account.
Step 1 — Generate an API Key
- Go to Settings → API & Integrations
- Click Generate Key
- Copy the key — it starts with
lc_sk_
Keep your key private. Anyone with it can read your LeadClaw data.
Step 2 — Connect Your AI Tool
Claude Desktop
Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"leadclaw": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@leadclaw/mcp-server", "--key", "lc_sk_YOUR_KEY"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop — you'll see a LeadClaw icon in the toolbar.
Cursor
Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (Cursor → Settings → MCP):
{
"leadclaw": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@leadclaw/mcp-server", "--key", "lc_sk_YOUR_KEY"]
}
}
Any Streamable HTTP client

Step 3 — Test It
In Claude Desktop or Cursor, type:
"What are my LeadClaw campaign stats?"
You should see live data from your account.
