Connect to Claude Desktop

Add Lever to Claude Desktop to manage ad campaigns through conversation.

Configuration

Open your Claude Desktop config file:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add Lever:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lever": {
      "url": "https://api.leverhq.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your Lever dashboard. Restart Claude Desktop to pick up the changes.

Verify the Connection

Start a new conversation and ask:
“What ad accounts do I have connected to Lever?”
Claude will call the list_connections tool and show your connected accounts.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you saved the config file and restarted Claude Desktop. Check that the JSON is valid — a missing comma or bracket will silently fail.
Verify your API key is correct. Generate a new one in the Lever dashboard if needed.
