## Configuring MCP Clients
### Generic MCP Client Configuration
MCP clients typically require configuration to connect to the server. Here's a general example of how to configure an MCP client:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"@microsoft/clarity-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@microsoft/clarity-mcp-server",
"--clarity_api_token=your-api-token-here"
]
}
}
}
```
The specifics of where and how to add this configuration will depend on your specific MCP client.
### Claude for Desktop Configuration
To configure Claude for Desktop to use this server:
1. Open your Claude for Desktop configuration file:
- **Windows**: `%AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
2. Add the configuration shown in the generic example above
3. Save the configuration file and restart Claude for Desktop
## Server Usage
The server exposes various tools that you can call from any MCP client.
Just ask naturally and keep each request focused on one thing.
