Interacting with Claude Desktop

To use this server as a tool with the Claude Desktop application, configure a custom Model Control Protocol (MCP) server.

Configuration: Add the following JSON object to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpHydrationServer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supergateway",
        "--streamableHttp",
        "http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp"
      ]
    }
  },
  "isUsingBuiltInNodeForMcp": true
}

Ensure the server is running locally (see step 1 above) before connecting with Claude Desktop.
