{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getalby-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "-y",
        "@getalby/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ENCODED_CONNECTION_SECRET": "<YOUR_ENCODED_CONNECTION_SECRET>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.

What this does

getAlby/mcp exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into your day-to-day productivity stack without copy-pasting context every turn.

Requirements

This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:

ENCODED_CONNECTION_SECRET

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).

Common use cases

  • Read or update notes, tasks, and project trackers from Claude
  • Pull personal calendars, journals, or knowledge bases into a session
  • Drive daily-review or status-update workflows without leaving the chat
