Claude Desktop Setup Video

Watch this walkthrough to see the Claude Desktop setup process:

1

Get your API key

Go to the Claude & ChatGPT page in your Particl dashboard. Click "Enable MCP" to generate your API key, then copy it.

Don't have an account?

Create an account at app.particl.com to get started.
2

Configure your AI client

Add the Particl MCP server to your AI client's configuration. Since Particl runs as a hosted service, you just need to point your client at the endpoint with your API key. Choose your tool below:

In ChatGPT's web interface:

  1. Go to Settings → Apps & Connectors
  2. Under Advanced, enable Developer Mode
  3. Click Create and enter:
    • Name: Particl
    • Server URL: https://mcp.particl.com/mcp
  4. Check the trust confirmation box, then click Create
  5. In a new chat, click + → More → Developer Mode
  6. Enable the Particl connector from the list
  7. Complete the sign-in flow with your Particl business email
Note: Requires a ChatGPT Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu plan.
3

Restart your AI client

After saving the configuration, restart your AI client. The Particl MCP tools will be automatically discovered and available for use.

4

Start querying

Try asking your AI assistant a question that uses Particl data:

"What are the top-selling products for Alo Yoga this month?"

"What's the price distribution for yoga pants?"

"Which companies are leading the running shoes market?"

Your AI will automatically use the appropriate Particl MCP tools to fetch live data and construct an answer.
