Optimize if needed ``` Claude will chain multiple tools together ### 15. Template-Based Context Creation ``` Create a chatbot using the "Expert Roleplay" template for a medical assistant ``` Claude will: 1. List templates to find the right one 2. Render it with appropriate variables 3. Create a context window 4. Add the rendered content ## Tips for Best Results 1. **Be specific** - The more details you provide, the better the tools work 2. **Chain operations** - Claude can use multiple tools in sequence 3. **Check status** - Use `get_context_stats` to see system status 4. **Iterate** - Analyze, optimize, and improve your contexts ## Troubleshooting If tools aren't working: 1. Check that both servers are running (API on 9001, MCP on stdio) 2. Verify your Claude Desktop config 3. Restart Claude Desktop after config changes 4. Check server logs for errors
