🖥️ Connecting to Claude Desktop

1. Locate Claude Desktop Config

2. Add the MCP Server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indiamart": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/indiamart-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "INDIAMART_API_KEY": "your_crm_api_key_here",
        "INDIAMART_GLID": "your_glid_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace cwd with your actual path:

• Windows: "C:\\Users\\YourName\\indiamart-mcp-server"
• macOS: "/Users/yourname/indiamart-mcp-server"
• Linux: "/home/yourname/indiamart-mcp-server"

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen Claude Desktop. You should see the IndiaMART tools available in the tools menu.

🤖 Connecting to Claude Code

Option 1: CLI (Recommended)

claude mcp add indiamart -- python /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/indiamart-mcp-server/mcp_server.py

Then set your environment variables:

# In your shell profile or before launching Claude Code
export INDIAMART_API_KEY="your_crm_api_key_here"
export INDIAMART_GLID="your_glid_here"

Option 2: Manual Config

Add to your .claude/settings.json (project-level) or ~/.claude/settings.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indiamart": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/indiamart-mcp-server/mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "INDIAMART_API_KEY": "your_crm_api_key_here",
        "INDIAMART_GLID": "your_glid_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with your actual absolute path to mcp_server.py.

Verify Connection

Once connected, ask Claude Code:

• "Sync my latest IndiaMART leads"
• "Show me leads from the last 24 hours"
• "What are my lead statistics?"

🦞 Connecting to OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent platform. Your IndiaMART leads become a native skill in OpenClaw, accessible from any interface OpenClaw supports.

1. Find your OpenClaw config file

2. Add the IndiaMART skill

Open the config and add under skills.mcpServers:

{
  skills: {
    mcpServers: {
      indiamart: {
        command: "python",
        args: ["mcp_server.py"],
        cwd: "/absolute/path/to/indiamart-mcp-server",
        env: {
          INDIAMART_API_KEY: "your_crm_api_key_here",
          INDIAMART_GLID: "your_glid_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

See openclaw-config-example.json5 at the repo root for a ready-to-copy template.

3. Restart the OpenClaw gateway

openclaw gateway restart

4. Verify it loaded

openclaw status --all
# You should see "indiamart" listed with 10 tools

Remote OpenClaw (VPS / EC2)

Run the MCP server in SSE mode on your server:

python mcp_server.py --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Then point your OpenClaw config to http://your-server-ip:8000.

🔧 Troubleshooting

"INDIAMART_API_KEY is not set"

• Make sure you've created a .env file (not just .env.example)
• Check that the key is correct and not expired
• Verify the .env file is in the project root directory

Claude Desktop doesn't show IndiaMART tools

• Restart Claude Desktop completely (quit + reopen)
• Check claude_desktop_config.json for syntax errors (valid JSON?)
• Verify the cwd path is correct and mcp_server.py exists there
• Check Claude Desktop logs for MCP connection errors

Date format errors

• Supported formats: YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, DD-Mon-YYYY
• Example: 2026-01-15, 15-01-2026, 15-Jan-2026
