# ✅ WORKING SOLUTION - Luno MCP Server for Claude Desktop
This is the **definitive working solution** for running the Luno MCP server with Claude Desktop.
## 🚀 Immediate Fix (Copy & Paste Ready)
### Step 1: Update Claude Desktop Configuration
Open this file: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Replace its contents with:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"luno": {
"command": "python3",
"args": [
"/Users/aman-asmuei/Documents/mcp/mcp-luno/src/luno_mcp_server/server.py"
],
"cwd": "/Users/aman-asmuei/Documents/mcp/mcp-luno",
"env": {
"LUNO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
"LUNO_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret_here"
}
}
}
}
```
### Step 2: Replace API Credentials
- Replace `your_api_key_here` with your actual Luno API key
- Replace `your_api_secret_here` with your actual Luno API secret
- If you don't have API credentials, remove the entire `env` section for public tools only
### Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop
1. Completely quit Claude Desktop
2. Start it again
3. Wait for it to fully load
## ✅ What You'll Get
**Public Tools (No API credentials needed):**
- `get_crypto_price` - Get current Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. prices in ZAR
- `get_market_overview` - Get overview of all available markets
**Private Tools (API credentials required):**
- `get_account_balance` - Get your account balances
## 🧪 Test It Works
After restarting Claude Desktop, try asking:
1. **"What's the current Bitcoin price in EUR?"** or **"Get ETHZAR price"**
2. **"Show me the market overview"**
3. **"What's my account balance?"** (if you have API credentials)
4. **"Get crypto price for XBTGBP"** (Bitcoin in British Pounds)
5. **"What's the Ethereum price in ZAR?"**
## 🔧 Why This Works
- **No external dependencies** - Uses only Python standard library + httpx (which is available)
- **Standalone implementation** - Doesn't require FastMCP or other complex dependencies
- **Proper MCP protocol** - Implements the Model Context Protocol correctly
- **Error handling** - Provides clear error messages if something goes wrong
## 🔒 Security Notes
- Your API credentials stay on your local machine
- They're passed as environment variables to the server
- Never share your API credentials or commit them to version control
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
If it still doesn't work:
1. **Check the file path** - Make sure `/Users/aman-asmuei/Documents/mcp/mcp-luno/src/sync_working_server.py` exists
2. **Check JSON syntax** - Use a JSON validator to verify your config file
3. **Check Python** - Run `python3 --version` to ensure Python 3 is available
4. **Check permissions** - Make sure the script is executable: `chmod +x /Users/aman-asmuei/Documents/mcp/mcp-luno/src/enhanced_working_server.py`
5. **Install httpx for real data** - Run `pip3 install httpx` for live price data (optional)
## 📞 Support
If you're still having issues, check:
- The Claude Desktop logs for error messages
