FAQ from ConnectWise API Gateway MCP Server

What are the prerequisites to use the server?

Python 3.10 or higher, access to ConnectWise Manage API credentials, and the included ConnectWise API definition file (manage.json).

How does authentication work?

The server uses environment variables CONNECTWISE_API_URL, CONNECTWISE_COMPANY_ID, CONNECTWISE_PUBLIC_KEY, CONNECTWISE_PRIVATE_KEY, and CONNECTWISE_AUTH_PREFIX to construct Basic Authentication headers. The prefix is combined with the public key for the username.

How do I configure the server with Claude Desktop?

Add a JSON entry to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers, specifying the command (npx, node, or python/python3) and the required environment variables. Three methods are provided: using the npm package, a Node.js script, or the Python script directly.

What is Fast Memory and how does it work?

Fast Memory allows you to save and reuse frequently used API queries. It automatically prompts you to save successful calls, suggests stored parameters next time, and tracks usage to prioritize commonly used queries.

Can I build the API database from scratch?

Yes, optionally run python build_database.py path/to/manage.json (or python3 on macOS/Linux) if you need to use a newer API definition file. A pre-built database is included.
