Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Example Usage
Once connected to an MCP client like Claude Desktop, you can use natural language to interact with the coin flip tool. For example:
- "Flip a coin"
- "Roll a 6-sided die"
- "Give me a random number between 1 and 20"
The server will use true randomness from random.org to generate the result.
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:
