1) Install and prepare

git clone https://github.com/jayhickey/DispatchQ.git
cd DispatchQ/packages/server
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Set DATABASE_URL and MCP_ACCOUNT_ID
npx drizzle-kit generate
npm run migrate
Required environment variables:
  • DATABASE_URL
  • MCP_ACCOUNT_ID
Optional:
  • PORT
  • RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND
  • WEBHOOK_TIMEOUT_MS

​
2) Claude Desktop config

Add a server entry to Claude Desktop config. 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dispatchq": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": ["run", "mcp"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/DispatchQ/packages/server",
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://user:pass@host/dbname?sslmode=require",
        "MCP_ACCOUNT_ID": "acct_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

​
3) Test with Claude

Ask Claude to run a tool call, for example:
  • “Create a job that POSTs {\"ping\":true} to https://httpbin.org/post.”
  • “Check job job_... and summarize result.”
If tool calls fail immediately, verify MCP_ACCOUNT_ID belongs to an existing account row and that DATABASE_URL is reachable.
