How do I use mcp-mediachips?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-mediachips list media with rating above 4" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mediachips": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-mediachips/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "MEDIACHIPS_DB_PATH": "/path/to/mediachips/db.sqlite"
      }
    }
  }
}

If MEDIACHIPS_DB_PATH is not set, it defaults to db.sqlite in the project directory.
