Connect RewardSmart
to Claude Desktop

Prerequisites

1 Setup Instructions

1. 1

   Get your RewardSmart API token

   Open the RewardSmart app on your phone. Go to Settings → Integrations → MCP Access and tap Generate Token. Copy the token — you'll need it in a moment.

   ℹ️ Keep your token private. It grants access to your card data. You can revoke it at any time from the same settings screen.
2. 2

   Open the Claude Desktop config file

   Navigate to the config file for your operating system. Create it if it doesn't exist yet.

   macOS Windows

   On macOS, the config file is located at:

   Path Copy

   ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   Open Terminal and run:

   Terminal Copy

   open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/

   On Windows, the config file is located at:

   Path Copy

   %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

   Open File Explorer and paste the path above into the address bar, or press Win + R and type %APPDATA%\Claude.

3. 3

   Add the RewardSmart MCP server config

   Open claude_desktop_config.json in a text editor and add (or merge) the following. Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with the token you copied in step 1.

   claude_desktop_config.json Copy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "rewardsmart": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@rewardsmart/mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "REWARDSMART_API_KEY": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   ⚠️ If the file already has an "mcpServers" key, add the "rewardsmart" block inside it — don't duplicate the outer key.
4. 4

   Restart Claude Desktop

   Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. On macOS use Cmd+Q, on Windows right-click the taskbar icon and choose Quit.

   After restarting, open a new conversation and look for the 🔌 MCP indicator or hammer icon in the chat input area. This confirms RewardSmart is connected.

5. 5

   Test the connection

   Try asking Claude: "Which of my cards gives the best rewards at grocery stores?"

   ✅ If Claude responds with your actual card data, the integration is working perfectly!

What You Can Ask

Once connected, you can ask Claude natural language questions about your credit card rewards. Here are some examples to get you started:
