# Claude Desktop Setup Guide for MCP DinCoder ## Installation Methods ### Method 1: Using npx (Recommended - No Installation Required) Configure Claude Desktop with npx: ```json { "mcp": { "servers": { "dincoder": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-dincoder@latest"] } } } } ``` ### Method 2: Global NPM Installation Configure Claude Desktop with npx: ```json { "mcp": { "servers": { "dincoder": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-dincoder@latest"] } } } } ``` ### Method 3: Local Development If you're developing locally: ```json { "mcp": { "servers": { "dincoder": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/your/MCP_DinCoder/dist/index-stdio.js"] } } } } ``` ## Verifying Installation 1. After updating `~/.claude.json`, restart Claude Desktop 2. Check the MCP status in Claude Desktop settings 3. The server should show as "running" with a green indicator ## Troubleshooting ### Server Shows as Failed 1. **Check Node.js version**: Ensure you have Node.js >= 20 ```bash node --version ``` 2. **Verify installation**: ```bash # For global install npm list -g mcp-dincoder # Test the command which mcp-dincoder ``` 3. **Test the server manually**: ```bash # This should start and wait for input mcp-dincoder # Press Ctrl+C to exit ``` 4. **Check Claude logs**: Look for error messages in Claude Desktop's developer console ### Common Issues - **Permission errors**: On macOS/Linux, you might need to use `sudo` for global install - **Path issues**: Ensure npm's global bin directory is in your PATH - **Node version**: The server requires Node.js 20 or higher ## Available Tools Once configured, you'll have access to all DinCoder tools: - `specify_start`, `specify_describe` - `plan_create` - `tasks_generate`, `tasks_tick`, `tasks_list` - `artifacts_read` - `research_append`, `research_read` - `git_create_branch`, `git_status`, `git_commit`, `git_list_branches` - Quality tools: `quality_format`, `quality_lint`, `quality_test`, etc. ## Support For issues or questions: - GitHub: https://github.com/dincoder/mcp-server/issues - NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-dincoder
