MCP support
It is an MCP server example intended for integration with Claude and other supporting clients. The README does not specify which tools or resources it exposes.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMERun with inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node index.js
Start the server to integrate with Claude / other supporting LLMs:
node src/index.js
Setup Claude Desktop to support the server:
JSON Path:
nano ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
JSON Config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
<path to src/index.js>
],
"env": {
"NODE_OPTIONS": "--no-deprecation"
}
}
}

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.
