Connecting PF Create to Claude Desktop

Difficulty: Easy — edit one config file.
Requires: Claude Desktop (free download at claude.ai/download)

Before You Start

• Your pfk_… Portal Access Key — log in at user.pfcreate.ca, select Security from the menu, click Rotate Portal Access Key, and copy the key immediately. It will not be shown again.

Find Your Config File

Edit the Config File

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "peeperfrog-create": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse"
    }
  }
}

Steps

1. Save the config file.
2. Quit Claude Desktop completely — quit from the menu bar or system tray.
3. Relaunch Claude Desktop.
4. A browser window will open with the PF Create Authorize page.
5. Paste your pfk_… Portal Access Key and click Approve.
6. Return to Claude Desktop. A tools/hammer icon in the chat input confirms MCP is connected.

Troubleshooting

Authorization page doesn’t open — Look for a notification inside Claude Desktop prompting you to connect.

Server shows red / disconnected — Verify the JSON is valid (no trailing commas) and restart Claude Desktop.

401 errors — Check the full pfk_ key is present with no spaces.
