- [ ] All files are in `/mnt/user-data/outputs/mcp-energy/`
- [ ] You have a GitHub account
- [ ] Git is installed on your machine
- [ ] Python 3.10+ is installed
## 🚀 GitHub Deployment Steps
### Step 1: Test Locally
```bash
cd /mnt/user-data/outputs/mcp-energy
python server.py
```
- [ ] Server starts without errors
- [ ] Press Ctrl+C to stop
### Step 2: Create GitHub Repository
1. [ ] Go to https://github.com
2. [ ] Click "+" → "New repository"
3. [ ] Name: `mcp-energy`
4. [ ] Choose: Public (or Private)
5. [ ] **DO NOT** check any initialization options
6. [ ] Click "Create repository"
7. [ ] Note your repository URL
### Step 3: Initialize Local Git
```bash
cd /mnt/user-data/outputs/mcp-energy
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: MCP Energy Server"
```
- [ ] Git initialized
- [ ] Files committed
### Step 4: Push to GitHub
Replace `YOUR_USERNAME` with your GitHub username:
```bash
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/mcp-energy.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
```
- [ ] Remote added
- [ ] Pushed to GitHub
### Step 5: Verify Deployment
1. [ ] Visit `https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/mcp-energy`
2. [ ] Check that README displays properly
3. [ ] Verify all files are present
4. [ ] Test clone: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/mcp-energy.git`
## 🔧 Configure Claude Desktop
### Step 6: Install Locally
```bash
cd /path/to/mcp-energy
pip install -e .
```
- [ ] Dependencies installed
### Step 7: Update Claude Config
Location:
- **MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
Add this (update the path):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"energy": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "server"],
"cwd": "/full/path/to/mcp-energy"
}
}
}
```
- [ ] Config file updated
- [ ] Path is absolute (not relative)
### Step 8: Restart Claude Desktop
- [ ] Completely quit Claude Desktop
- [ ] Restart Claude Desktop
- [ ] Look for 🔌 icon in bottom right
### Step 9: Test with Claude
Try these queries:
- [ ] "What electricity data tools do you have?"
- [ ] "Get the latest natural gas consumption data"
- [ ] "Show me California electricity generation"
## 📝 Post-Deployment
### Update Personal Information
Edit these files:
- [ ] `pyproject.toml` - Add your email
- [ ] `README.md` - Replace YOUR_USERNAME with actual username
- [ ] Commit and push changes
### Optional: Create Release
```bash
git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Initial release"
git push origin v0.1.0
```
- [ ] Tag created
- [ ] Tag pushed
### Optional: Add Description
On GitHub:
- [ ] Add repository description
- [ ] Add topics: `mcp`, `energy`, `eia`, `api`, `claude`
- [ ] Update repository settings
## 🎉 Success Criteria
You know it's working when:
- [ ] Repository is public on GitHub
- [ ] README displays correctly
- [ ] Claude Desktop shows 🔌 icon
- [ ] Claude can answer energy data questions
- [ ] No errors in Claude Desktop logs
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Server won't start
```bash
# Check Python version
python --version # Should be 3.10+
# Reinstall dependencies
pip install -e . --force-reinstall
```
### Claude can't connect
- [ ] Check path in config is absolute
- [ ] Verify server runs: `python server.py`
- [ ] Restart Claude Desktop completely
- [ ] Check Developer Tools for errors
### GitHub push fails
```bash
# If authentication fails, use SSH
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/mcp-energy.git
# Or configure credentials
gh auth login # if you have GitHub CLI
```
