Using Claude Desktop with EventCatalog

Claude Desktop supports the MCP protocol. This means you can use EventCatalog with Claude Desktop.

Using Claude Desktop you can ask questions about your architecture, get schema information for your services and messages, directly in your code editor.

EventCatalog Setup​

First, you need to enable the LLMS.txt feature in your EventCatalog instance.

  1. Enable the LLMS.txt feature in your EventCatalog instance, by configuring your eventcatalog.config.js file.
  2. Deploy your EventCatalog instance with the LLMS.txt feature enabled.

Adding the MCP server to Claude Desktop​

To use this with Claude Desktop, add the following to your claud_desktop_config.json file. The full path on MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claud_desktop_config.json, on Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claud_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eventcatalog": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@eventcatalog/mcp-server",
        "https://demo.eventcatalog.dev" // Replace with your EventCatalog URL
      ]
    }
  }
}

If you get stuck you can read the Claude Desktop documentation for more information or ask the community on Discord.
