Connect Claude to La Cafeteria

Add La Cafeteria as an MCP server in Claude Desktop so Claude can read our menu, hours, and location as you.

1. Add the MCP server config

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then paste this into your claude_desktop_config.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "la-cafeteria": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@anthropic-ai/mcp-remote",
        "https://lacafeteria.cafe/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop

Save the config file and fully quit and reopen Claude. The server will appear in the developer tools list once Claude connects to it.

3. Approve the connection

The first time Claude asks La Cafeteria for data, your browser will open the La Cafeteria sign-in page and then show a consent screen.
