## Installation

### šŸš€ Auto-Installer (Recommended)

**One command installs everything:**
```bash
python3 install_inoreader_mcp.py
```

The auto-installer will:
- āœ… Install all Python dependencies
- āœ… Prompt for your Inoreader credentials  
- āœ… Configure Claude Desktop automatically
- āœ… Leave everything ready to use!

**Windows users:** Double-click `install.bat`

### šŸ“¦ Drag & Drop Installation

**Try dragging `inoreader-mcp.dxt` onto Claude Desktop** (experimental - may not work on all versions)

### šŸ› ļø Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone <repository-url>
cd inoreader_mcp
```

### 2. Install dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 3. Configure credentials

Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit the `.env` file with your Inoreader credentials:
```
INOREADER_APP_ID=your_app_id
INOREADER_APP_KEY=your_app_key

INOREADER_PASSWORD=your_password
```

To obtain credentials:
1. Visit https://www.inoreader.com/developers/
2. Create a new application
3. Copy the App ID and App Key

### 4. Configure in Claude Desktop

Add to Claude Desktop's configuration file (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inoreader": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/inoreader_mcp/main.py"],
      "env": {
        "INOREADER_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "INOREADER_APP_KEY": "your_app_key",
        "INOREADER_USERNAME": "your_email",
        "INOREADER_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
