Or without the package:

Connect to Claude Desktop

Find your Claude configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Editing the JSON File (For Beginners)

This configuration uses standard JSON format. If you haven't edited a JSON file before, here are a few critical rules to avoid errors:

1. Curly Braces: The entire file must be enclosed in an opening and closing curly brace { }.

2. Commas: If you already have other settings in this file (like "preferences"), ensure you separate the new "mcpServers" block from the other settings with a comma ,.

3. Absolute Paths: Ensure the file paths to your Python executable and server.py are absolute (e.g., starts with /Users/name/... or C:\Users\name\...).

If your configuration file is currently completely empty or doesn't exist, you can simply copy, paste, and save the following complete block. Make sure to replace the placeholder paths with your actual paths!

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cse-market": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/your/python/executable",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/CSE_MCP/src/cse_mcp/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Once saved, restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

Connect to Cursor / Windsurf

Same config format — both support MCP. Add the same JSON block to their respective MCP config files (check their docs for the exact path).
