MaintenanceManagementClient Claude Desktop Integration
This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the MaintenanceManagementClient API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including List available operations, Get Configuration records within a subscription, Get Configuration record, and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport.
