Integration with Claude for Desktop

To integrate this server with Claude for Desktop:

1. Install Claude for Desktop to your local machine.

2. Install VS Code to your local machine. Then run the following command to open the claude_desktop_config.json file:

   • MacOS: code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

3. Edit the Claude for Desktop config file, located at:

   • macOS:

     {
       "mcpServers": {
         "mercari": {
           "command": "uv",
           "args": [
             "--directory",
             "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/mercari-jp-mcp",
             "run",
             "server.py"
           ]
         }
       }
     }
     

   • Windows:

     {
       "mcpServers": {
         "mercari": {
           "command": "uv",
           "args": [
             "--directory",
             "C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\mercari-jp-mcp",
             "run",
             "server.py"
           ]
         }
       }
     }
     

   • Note: You may need to put the full path to the uv executable in the command field. You can get this by running which uv on MacOS/Linux or where uv on Windows.

4. Restart Claude for Desktop
