MCP support

Helps Windows users install and configure MCP servers for Claude Desktop; it does not itself expose an MCP server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

No install method listed yet

We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

Claude MCP Get

A comprehensive toolkit for installing and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Claude Desktop on Windows systems.

Overview

This repository contains scripts, configurations, and documentation to help Windows users successfully install and use Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Claude Desktop. It focuses on overcoming the common issues that prevent MCP connections on Windows, particularly problems with npx commands, path resolution, and multiple Node.js installations.

Key Features

  • Diagnostic tools to identify Node.js installations
  • Installation scripts that avoid common pitfalls
  • Configuration templates with absolute paths
  • Troubleshooting guides for "Could not attach to MCP server" errors
  • Solutions for NVM and Node.js path issues

Quick Start

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Run find-nodejs.bat to identify your Node.js installations
  3. Run cleanup-nodejs.bat if you have multiple installations
  4. Run install-mcp.bat to install the MCP server of your choice
  5. Follow the configuration instructions displayed

Common Windows Issues & Solutions

NPX Connection Failures

The most common issue on Windows is MCP servers failing to connect when using npx commands in claude_desktop_config.json. This is due to how Claude Desktop launches subprocesses on Windows.

Solution: Use direct node execution with absolute paths, like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe",
      "args": [
        "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@modelcontextprotocol\\server-name\\dist\\index.js",
        "parameter1", "parameter2"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPDATA": "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\",
        "PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs",
        "NODE_PATH": "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules"
      }
    }
  }
}
Multiple Node.js Installations

Having multiple Node.js installations (especially with NVM) causes path resolution issues.

Solution: Use the standard Node.js installation in the default location and specify absolute paths.

Task Manager Restart Required

Simply closing and reopening Claude Desktop often doesn't fully reload configurations.

Solution: End all Claude Desktop processes in Task Manager before restarting.

Documentation

Scripts

  • find-nodejs.bat - Identifies all Node.js installations on your system
  • cleanup-nodejs.bat - Cleans npm cache and fixes common installation issues
  • install-mcp.bat - Installs MCP servers globally with proper paths
  • run-server.bat - Runs MCP servers for testing outside Claude Desktop

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
