Claude Desktop SRIFT srift_start_session

How to: Claude Desktop SRIFT srift_start_session

client:Claude Desktop transport:streamable-http tool:srift_start_session

Add SRIFT to Claude Desktop

01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "srift": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://srift.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
03
Ask for something srift_start_session does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls srift_start_session itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that SRIFT's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs

Set these first

SRIFT will not start until these are set, so srift_start_session never becomes available.

SRIFT_DAEMON_PORT

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
