      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "~/projects/near-market/mcp-near-wallet",
        "run",
        "mcp-near-wallet"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop

After updating the configuration, restart Claude Desktop completely:

1. Quit Claude Desktop

2. Restart the application

3. The NEAR Wallet tools should now be available

Usage Examples
