By the Quikturn Team · April 2026 · 3 min read

Prerequisites

A Quikturn account (free tier works)
A server API key from your Quikturn dashboard (starts with sk_)
Claude Desktop or a Claude Pro/Team plan for Claude Web MCP support

Claude Desktop setup

Step 1

Open MCP settings

In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server.

Step 2

Add the Quikturn configuration

Paste the config below. Replace sk_YOUR_API_KEY with your actual server API key from the Quikturn dashboard.

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quikturn": {
      "url": "https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3

Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop for the new MCP server to take effect.

Step 4

Verify

Ask: "What MCP tools do you have access to?" Claude should list Quikturn’s logo tools.

Claude Web setup

Step 1

Open Integrations

Go to claude.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add MCP Server.

Step 2

Enter server details

URL: https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcp — API Key: your sk_ server key.

Step 3

Verify

Start a new conversation and ask Claude what MCP tools are available. Quikturn logo tools should appear.

Available tools

Once connected, Claude has access to these Quikturn tools:

Search logos

Find logos by company name, domain, or stock ticker.

Retrieve logo

Get a specific logo as PNG, SVG, or base64 data.

Browse variants

See all available versions: full logo, icon, dark mode, light mode.

Troubleshooting

API key not accepted

Make sure you're using a server key (starts with sk_), not a client key. Generate one from your dashboard under API Keys.

Server not appearing in Claude

Restart Claude Desktop after adding the config. On Claude Web, refresh the page after adding the integration.

Claude doesn't use logos automatically

Ask Claude to "use the Quikturn MCP server to find logos" in your first prompt. After that, it will use them automatically.

Connection timeout errors

Check that your API key is active and your plan includes MCP access (Launch, Growth, or Enterprise).

Quikturn MCP Server Setup for Claude Desktop and Claude Web

Step-by-step instructions for connecting the Quikturn MCP server to Claude Desktop and Claude Web (claude.ai). The Quikturn MCP server uses the standard Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP. Authentication requires a Quikturn server API key (sk_ prefix). Once connected, Claude can search for company logos by name, domain, or ticker and retrieve them in PNG, SVG, or base64 format.

Claude Desktop MCP Configuration

Add the Quikturn MCP server to Claude Desktop by editing the claude_desktop_config.json file or using the Settings UI. The server URL is https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcp and requires a Bearer token authorization header with your sk_ API key.

Claude Web MCP Integration

Add the Quikturn MCP server to Claude Web via the Settings page under Integrations. Enter the server URL and API key to enable logo search and retrieval in browser-based Claude conversations.
