Claude Setup

Connect PMI to Claude in three flavours: Claude Desktop for personal analyst use, Cursor IDE for code-side integration, and the Claude API for production agents you build yourself. All three use the same MCP URL.

from anthropic import Anthropic

client = Anthropic()  # ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from env

response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    max_tokens=2048,
    mcp_servers=[{
        "type": "url",
        "url": "https://pmi-api-beta-7tvvt.ondigitalocean.app/mcp",
        "name": "pmi",
        "authorization_token": "pmi_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE",
    }],
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What's the projected STR revenue for a 2-bed flat in BA1 1?"
    }],
)

# Each tool use + result is a content block in response.content
for block in response.content:
    print(block)

import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const client = new Anthropic();

const response = await client.messages.create({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
  max_tokens: 2048,
  mcp_servers: [{
    type: "url",
    url: "https://pmi-api-beta-7tvvt.ondigitalocean.app/mcp",
    name: "pmi",
    authorization_token: "pmi_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE",
  }],
  messages: [{
    role: "user",
    content: "What's the projected STR revenue for a 2-bed flat in BA1 1?"
  }],
});

console.log(response.content);

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's the yield in LS6?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": response.content},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Now show me listings under £200k there."},
]
response2 = client.messages.create(model=..., mcp_servers=..., messages=messages)

URL:    https://pmi-api-beta-7tvvt.ondigitalocean.app/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer pmi_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Connector panel shows "pmi: 0 tools"

You're connected but the tools didn't enumerate. Almost always: the Authorization header isn't being passed. Re-check the JSON in claude_desktop_config.json, common typo is "Header" instead of "Authorization". Then quit and relaunch Claude Desktop fully.

Tool calls return "Authentication failed"

The token is being sent but PMI rejected it. Confirm the key starts with pmi_live_, that it's marked active in the dashboard, and that there's no leading or trailing space in the config.

Tool calls return "Monthly credit limit reached"

You’ve spent your allowance. Upgrade your tier in the dashboard, or wait until the next billing cycle starts.

Claude says "I tried to call pmi but the tool isn't available"

The MCP server isn’t connected. Click the connector panel; if "pmi" isn’t listed at all, the URL is wrong or the file isn’t being read. Re-do the config step.

Latency is bad on tool calls

First call from a fresh Claude Desktop session warms up the MCP connection, expect about 500ms to 1s overhead. Subsequent calls in the same session are sub-200ms beyond the underlying endpoint’s latency.

JSON config edits aren't taking effect

Common causes: invalid JSON (a trailing comma is the usual culprit), saved the wrong file, or didn't fully quit Claude Desktop. Validate your JSON with jq or paste it into an online JSON validator.
