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 331 tools exposed at mcp.tenzro.network.

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.network/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."
