Turn Claude into your second brain.

Connect Timeln to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, claude.ai, or Cursor — and read or write your knowledge graph right from a chat.

Open Claude Desktop config

On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. On Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json. Requires Node.js 18+.

Paste this into mcpServers

Desktop only speaks stdio MCP, so the remote endpoint is wrapped with mcp-remote. Swap tln_YOUR_TOKEN for your key from Settings → API keys.

  "mcpServers": {
    "timeln": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://timeln-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer tln_YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop

Fully quit (Cmd+Q, not just close) and reopen. First launch takes 10–20 s while npx fetches mcp-remote. Confirm under Settings → Developer → Local MCP servers.

Stuck on TAR_ENTRY_ERROR or Cannot find module './lib/dispatcher/client'? Clear the npx cache: rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx and restart Claude.
