Connect MCP in Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json so Claude can use servers from this directory.

Claude Desktop launches MCP servers from JSON, usually via command and args.

Merge the install snippet from a detail page into mcpServers. Do not wipe servers you already configured.

Check working directories and allowed paths, restart Claude Desktop, then try a read-only action.

The same server config often works in Cursor; only the config file location changes.
