Configuring Claude Desktop

Local Development Configuration

For local development, configure Claude Desktop to use your locally built version:

{ "mcpServers": { "sqlserver": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/mcp-database-server/dist/src/index.js", "--sqlserver", "--server", "your-server-name", "--database", "your-database-name", "--user", "your-username", "--password", "your-password" ] }, "postgresql": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/mcp-database-server/dist/src/index.js", "--postgresql", "--host", "your-host-name", "--database", "your-database-name", "--user", "your-username", "--password", "your-password" ] }, "mysql": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/mcp-database-server/dist/src/index.js", "--mysql", "--host", "your-host-name", "--database", "your-database-name", "--port", "3306", "--user", "your-username", "--password", "your-password" ] } } }

The Claude Desktop configuration file is typically located at:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
