Configuration

First, make sure you have uv (and Python) installed.

To integrate this server with Claude for Desktop, update your configuration file at:

MacOS/Linux

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Example configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "precipitation": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server", "run", "server.py" ] } } }

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server with the actual path where your server is located.

Restart Claude for Desktop for the tool to become available.

You might have to provide the full path for uv instead of just uv. To find the full path for your uv executable, on MacOS/Linux execute which uv.
