# š Worksona MCP Server - Quick Start Guide
Your Worksona MCP server has been built successfully! Follow these steps to integrate it with Claude Desktop.
## ā
What's Built
- **Complete MCP Server** with 100+ Worksona agents
- **4 Coordination Modes**: Sequential, Parallel, Review, Executive
- **6 MCP Tools**: `activate_agent`, `coordinate_team`, `suggest_agents`, `research_workflow`, `list_agents`, `agent_info`
- **Automatic Agent Discovery** from the bundled agents directory
- **Memory Management** for cross-agent context
## š§ Configure Claude Desktop
### Step 1: Find Your Config File
**macOS**: `~/.claude-desktop/config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/config.json`
### Step 2: Add MCP Server Configuration
Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"worksona-agents": {
"command": "/usr/local/bin/worksona-mcp-server"
}
}
}
```
> **Note**: No API key needed! The MCP server automatically detects it's running inside Claude Desktop and uses Claude's built-in AI processing.
### Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop
Close and reopen Claude Desktop to load the MCP server.
## š® Test Your Installation
### Basic Agent Test
Try this in Claude Desktop:
```
I need help creating API documentation for my REST service
```
**Expected Result**: Claude will automatically use the `activate_agent` tool with the `doc-writer` agent.
### Multi-Agent Test
Try this:
```
Build a complete user authentication system with security review
```
**Expected Result**: Claude will use `coordinate_team` to coordinate multiple agents (backend-architect, security-auditor, frontend-developer).
### Agent Discovery Test
Try this:
```
What agents do you have available for database optimization?
```
**Expected Result**: Claude will use `suggest_agents` or `list_agents` to show database specialists.
## š Available MCP Tools
Your server provides these tools to Claude:
| Tool | What It Does | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `activate_agent` | Single expert agent | "Create a React component" |
| `coordinate_team` | Multiple agents working together | "Build full-stack app with security" |
| `suggest_agents` | Find the right agent for your task | "Who can help with performance?" |
| `list_agents` | Browse all available agents | "Show me all frontend agents" |
## šÆ Usage Examples
### Single Agent (Level 1 Usage)
```
Create a comprehensive README file for my project
```
ā Activates `doc-writer` agent
### Team Coordination (Level 3 Usage)
```
Design and implement a secure payment processing system
```
ā Coordinates `backend-architect` + `security-auditor` + `payment-integration` specialists
### Research Workflow (Level 4 Usage)
```
Research the competitive landscape for AI coding assistants
```
ā Deploys research team: `search-specialist` + `content-analyzer` + `competitive-analyst`
## š ļø Troubleshooting
### Server Won't Start
1. Check the console output when starting Claude Desktop
2. Verify the file path in config.json is correct
3. Test the server manually: `./start.sh`
### No Tools Available
1. Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
2. Check that config.json syntax is valid
3. Verify the MCP server can find agents directory
### Agents Not Loading
1. Check that WORKSONA_AGENTS_PATH environment variable is set (if using custom path)
2. Verify agent metadata.json files exist and are valid
3. Look for error messages in the console
## š Success Indicators
You'll know it's working when:
- ā
Claude Desktop shows "Connected to MCP servers" or similar
- ā
Claude can activate individual agents by name
- ā
Claude can coordinate multiple agents for complex tasks
- ā
You see agent responses with execution details and suggested next steps
## š Need Help?
- Check the main README.md for detailed troubleshooting
- Verify Claude Desktop MCP documentation
- Test individual components by running `./start.sh` manually
**Congratulations! Your Worksona MCP Server is ready to transform Claude Desktop into a powerful multi-agent coordination platform! š**
