Claude Desktop

Integrate Intutic governance with Claude Desktop — Anthropic's desktop application.

How it works

Intutic monitors and updates claude_desktop_config.json to route LLM requests through the local proxy. It also wraps configure-level Model Context Protocol (MCP) server endpoints using the Intutic MCP proxy to intercept tool calls.

Setup

1. Initialize Intutic

bash
intutic init

The CLI detects Claude Desktop and registers it as a harness:

✓ Detected harnesses:
  • claude-desktop -> ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Start sync

bash
intutic connect

What gets written

Intutic updates the Claude Desktop configuration:

  • JSON Config: claude_desktop_config.json (Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json)
  • MCP Wrapping: Wraps defined MCP servers in mcpServers using @intutic/mcp-proxy stdio redirect to intercept all tools.
