Run on Claude for Desktop

To use this server with Claude Desktop, you need to configure it in your Claude Desktop configuration file. This file is located at:

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

Example configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "/path/to/node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/example-mcp-server/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This configuration registers an MCP server named "time" that runs the built JavaScript code from this repository using Node.js.

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.
