Tutorial — Getting started

Connect Tenzro to Claude

Add the Tenzro MCP server to Claude Desktop. Once connected, Claude can list models, send transactions, verify proofs, and call any of the 500+ tools exposed at mcp.tenzro.xyz.

Level: Beginner
Time: ~5 min
Prerequisites: Claude Desktop
Stack: MCP

Open Claude Desktop config

The MCP server registration lives in claude_desktop_config.json. On macOS the file is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Register the Tenzro MCP server

Add an entry under mcpServers pointing at the public Streamable HTTP endpoint.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tenzro": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.tenzro.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude and verify the connection

Quit Claude fully and reopen. In a new chat, ask Claude to list available Tenzro models. It will call list_models over MCP and stream the catalog back.

Ask Claude: "List Tenzro models in the inference catalog."

Try a payment-aware call

Some tools accept an MPP or x402 payment header. Claude handles the 402 challenge transparently when an agent identity is bound.

Ask Claude: "Get the latest block from Tenzro and tell me how many transactions it includes."
