# Connect to Claude

> How to use Korean public data directly in Claude Desktop via Bridger MCP — about 2 minutes.

Once Claude Desktop connects to the Bridger Gateway over SSE, you can use 230+ public-data tools
in natural language with no extra installation.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Claude Desktop">
    If you don't have Claude Desktop yet, download it from the [official Anthropic site](https://claude.ai/download).
    Both macOS and Windows are supported.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the MCP config file">
    In the Claude Desktop menu, click **Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config**.

    Config file location:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text macOS theme={null}
      ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      ```

      ```text Windows theme={null}
      %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Bridger MCP server">
    Add the following to the config file.

    ```json claude_desktop_config.json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "data-bridge": {
          "url": "https://mcp.datari.kr/mcp/sse",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    <Tip>
      You can issue an API key from the [admin dashboard](https://admin.datari.kr) after creating an account.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart Claude and start using it">
    After saving the config, fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. You can now ask about Korean
    public data in natural language.

    ```
    What's the weather in Gangnam-gu, Seoul today?
    Show me apartment transaction prices in Banpo-dong.
    Look up the Samsung Electronics stock price.
    ```
  </Step>
