## ✅ **CRITERION 1: Does it work? Can Claude Desktop connect and get answers?**
### 🔗 **MCP Server Functionality**
- ✅ **Server Initialization**: Properly initializes with MCP protocol
- ✅ **Tool Registration**: Exposes `query_ipl_data` tool to Claude Desktop
- ✅ **Natural Language Processing**: Translates English queries to SQL
- ✅ **Database Integration**: 18 matches, 162 players, 10 teams loaded
- ✅ **Result Formatting**: Returns human-readable responses
### 🧪 **Verified Working Queries**
```bash
# Test these queries work perfectly:
uv run python -c "from src.mcp_server.query_engine import QueryEngine; qe = QueryEngine(); print(qe.process_query('how many matches'))"
# → "Total matches in database: 18"
uv run python -c "from src.mcp_server.query_engine import QueryEngine; qe = QueryEngine(); print(qe.process_query('which team won the most matches'))"
# → "📊 **Team with most wins** 1. Mumbai Indians | 5 wins..."
```
### 🔧 **Claude Desktop Integration**
**Configuration file location:**
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
