# Choose MCP Server Setup
1. Start by downloading the Claude Desktop Client: https://claude.ai/download
2. Install uv
```
brew install uv
```
3. Install the MCP server
Edit the `claude_desktop_config.json` file (located in `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude`) and add the following to the mcpServers section:
```javascript
{
"mcpServers": {
"Choose MCP Server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["choose-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ID": YOUR_PROJECT_ID,
"DATASETS": DATASET_1,DATASET_2,DATASET_3
"DBT_MANIFEST_FILEPATH": YOUR_DBT_MANIFEST_FILEPATH
}
}
}
}
```
N.B: the dbt manifest file path is optional.
4. Log into Google Cloud and update your Application Default Credentials (ADC)
```
gcloud auth login --update-adc
```
5. Open Claude Desktop and start asking questions!
## Troubleshooting
For Windows users, you may need to add the `APPDATA` environment variable to your Claude Desktop config file.
```javascript
"env": {
"APPDATA": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming",
}
```
