1Password Connect Claude Desktop Integration

This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the 1Password Connect API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including Retrieve a list of API Requests that have been made., Get state of the server and its dependencies., Ping the server for liveness, and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport. Paste the JSON configuration below into your claude_desktop_config.json file to get started.
