1. Install

2. Configure MCP client like Claude Desktop

Configure your client to connect to the server.

For Claude Desktop, please edit file below:

• MacOS/Linux: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration to the mcpServers section:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kintone": {
      "command": "C:\\path\\to\\mcp-server-kintone.exe",
      "env": {
        "KINTONE_BASE_URL": "https://<domain>.cybozu.com",
        "KINTONE_USERNAME": "<your username>",
        "KINTONE_PASSWORD": "<your password>",
        "KINTONE_API_TOKEN": "<your api token>, <another api token>, ...",
        "KINTONE_ALLOW_APPS": "1, 2, 3, ...",
        "KINTONE_DENY_APPS": "4, 5, ..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment variables:

• KINTONE_BASE_URL: (Required) The base URL of your kintone.

• KINTONE_USERNAME: Your username for kintone.

• KINTONE_PASSWORD: Your password for kintone.

• KINTONE_API_TOKEN: Comma separated API token for kintone. You need to set either KINTONE_USERNAME and KINTONE_PASSWORD or KINTONE_API_TOKEN.

• KINTONE_ALLOW_APPS: A comma-separated list of app IDs that you want to allow access. In default, all apps are allowed.

• KINTONE_DENY_APPS: A comma-separated list of app IDs that you want to deny access. The deny has a higher priority than the allow.

You may need to restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.

3. Start to use

Now you can interact with kintone using your own AI tools!

For example, you can say:

• "What is the latest status of Customer A's project?"

• "Update the progress of Project B to 50%."

• "Show me the projects that are behind schedule."
