Prerequisites
Claude Desktop Setup
Open MCP Settings
In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server.
Add the Quikturn configuration
Paste this JSON into the server configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quikturn": {
"url": "https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk_YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Replace sk_YOUR_API_KEY with your actual server API key from the Quikturn dashboard.
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop for the new MCP server to take effect.
Verify
"What MCP tools do you have access to?"
Claude should list Quikturn's logo tools.
Claude Web Setup

Enter server details
https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcpsk_YOUR_API_KEYVerify
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 in future conversations.
Connection timeout errors
Check that your API key is active and your plan includes MCP access (Launch, Growth, or Enterprise).
