   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
3. Add the following configuration based on your operating system:Mac/Linux:
   { "mcpServers": { "audio-player": { "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python", "args": [ "/path/to/your/audio-player-mcp/src/audio_player_mcp/player.py" ], "env": { "AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR": "/path/to/your/audio/files" } } } }

   { "mcpServers": { "audio-player": { "command": "C:\path\to\your\venv\Scripts\python.exe", "args": [ "C:\path\to\your\audio-player-mcp\src\audio_player_mcp\player.py" ], "env": { "AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR": "C:\path\to\your\audio\files" } } } }
   Note: If AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR is not set, the server will default to using the Music folder in your home directory.
