Config Claude Desktop, HOWTO

claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
      "tidb": {
          "command": "uv",
          "args": [
              "--directory",
              "/path/to/mcp-server-tidb",
              "run",

          ]
      }
  }
}

If you're running mcp-server-tidb in WSL, the claude_desktop_config.json should look like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tool-with-env-vars": {
      "command": "wsl.exe",
      "args": [
        "bash",
        "-c",
        "/path/to/uv --directory /path/to/mcp-server-tidb run python src/main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
