## ⚡ Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- pip package manager
- Jina AI API Key ([Get yours here](https://jina.ai/?sui=apikey))
### Instant Setup with Claude Desktop
Add this configuration to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"jina": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"supergateway",
"--sse",
"https://jina-mcp.onrender.com/sse",
"--oauth2Bearer=your-jina-api-key"
]
}
}
}
```
**Replace `your-jina-api-key`** with your actual Jina AI API key and restart Claude Desktop!
## 📦 Installation
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Meetpatel006/jina-mcp.git
cd jina-mcp
```
### 2. Set Up Virtual Environment
```bash
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
# Activate virtual environment
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
```
### 3. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## ⚙️ Configuration
### Environment Setup
Create a `.env` file in the project root:
```env
JINA_API_KEY=your_jina_api_key_here
```
### Running the Server Locally
```bash
python -m jina_mcp.server
```
## 🔌 MCP Server Setup
### For Claude Desktop (Recommended)
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"jina": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"supergateway",
"--sse",
"https://jina-mcp.onrender.com/sse",
"--oauth2Bearer=your-jina-api-key"
]
}
}
}
```
### Local Development Setup
For local development:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"jina": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "jina_mcp.server"],
"cwd": "/path/to/jina-mcp",
"env": {
"JINA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
### Configuration Steps
