Configuring mcp-ola-maps Server

Steps to Configure:

1. Open the Claude Desktop Configuration File

   • On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the Following Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-ola-maps": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ola-maps"],
      "env": {
        "OLA_MAPS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Locate the command entry for uvx and replace it with the absolute path to the uvx executable. This ensures that the correct version of uvx is used when starting the server. On macOS, you can find this path using: which uv.

4. Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.
