Claude Desktop MCP Integration
Repository to set up example L9 from MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic short course on Deeplearning.ai.
Difficulties
One difficulty in setting this up was getting the claude_desktop_config.json to work with project in WSL2 Ubuntu. Here is the solution I found:
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /home/rick/anthropic_mcp"
]
},
"research": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"/home/rick/.local/bin/uv --directory /home/rick/anthropic_mcp run research_server.py"
]
},
"fetch": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"/home/rick/.local/bin/uvx mcp-server-fetch"
]
}
}
}
