Claude Desktop Integration

To integrate this MCP with Claude Desktop:

1. Install Claude Desktop
   Download and install from: https://claude.ai/download

2. Open Configuration
   Go to File > Settings > Developer and click Edit Configuration

3. Add the MCP server configuration
   In the claude_desktop_config.json, insert the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nif-pt-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/PROJECT/FOLDER",
        "run",
        "main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/PROJECT/FOLDER with the actual absolute path where your main.py file is located.

4. Restart Claude Desktop
   After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop. Your nif-pt-server MCP should now be available in the Claude Desktop interface.
