📋 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

• Claude Desktop installed

• Anthropic API key with billing enabled

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/claude-swarm-mcp.git
cd claude-swarm-mcp

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure Claude Desktop

   Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-swarm": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/claude-swarm-mcp/claude_swarm_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Start the server

python3 claude_swarm_mcp_server.py

5. Restart Claude Desktop and test with:

Create finance team with company name "Your Company"

🎯 Usage Examples

Create a Financial Analysis Team

Create finance team with company name "TechVest Capital"

This creates 4 specialized agents:

• Risk Analyst - VaR calculations, stress testing

• Portfolio Manager - Asset allocation, optimization

• Data Analyst - Market data, performance metrics

• Research Analyst - Investment research, market analysis

Chat with Specialists

Chat with agent: "Calculate the VaR for a portfolio with AAPL 30%, GOOGL 25%, MSFT 20%, AMZN 15%, TSLA 10%" using agent "Risk Analyst"

Create Custom Agents

Create agent with name "Options Specialist" and instructions "You are an expert in options trading. Calculate Greeks, analyze volatility, and recommend hedging strategies."

List All Agents

List agents

Portfolio Analysis Workflow

Chat with agent: "I need a complete analysis of my tech portfolio: analyze risk, optimize allocation, and provide investment recommendations."

Agents will coordinate automatically to provide comprehensive analysis

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

1. Claude Swarm Framework (claude_swarm.py)

   • Multi-agent orchestration

   • Automatic handoffs between agents

   • Shared conversation context

   • Function calling integration

2. MCP Server (claude_swarm_mcp_server.py)

   • Model Context Protocol implementation

   • Persistent agent storage

   • Tool registration and handling

   • Claude Desktop integration

3. Agent Storage (data/)

   • JSON-based agent persistence

   • Conversation history

   • Context variables

   • Backup and restore capabilities

Data Flow

Claude Desktop ↔ MCP Protocol ↔ Swarm Server ↔ Claude API
                                      ↓
                              Agent Storage (JSON)

🎨 Use Cases

Financial Services

• Portfolio Risk Analysis: VaR calculations, stress testing

• Investment Research: Market analysis, stock recommendations

• Compliance Monitoring: Regulatory requirements, position limits

• Client Advisory: Personalized investment advice

Customer Support

• Intelligent Triage: Route customers to appropriate specialists

• Multi-language Support: Automatic language detection and routing

# Custom storage location
storage_path = "/Users/yourname/claude_agents"
server = ClaudeSwarmMCPServer(storage_dir=storage_path)

📊 Performance

• Agent Creation: < 2 seconds

• Chat Response: 3-8 seconds (depending on complexity)

• Agent Handoffs: < 1 second

• Storage Operations: < 500ms

• Memory Usage: ~50-100MB (depending on conversation history)

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. API Authentication Errors

# Check your API key
python3 -c "from anthropic import Anthropic; print('API key valid')"

2. MCP Connection Issues

• Restart Claude Desktop

• Check server logs for errors

• Verify config file path and syntax

3. Agent Not Responding

• Check billing status in Anthropic Console

• Verify agent instructions are clear

• Test with simple messages first

4. Storage Permission Errors

# Fix permissions
chmod 755 /path/to/storage/directory

Debug Mode

# Run server with debug logging
CLAUDE_SWARM_DEBUG=true python3 claude_swarm_mcp_server.py
