  4. Add ibkr-live and/or ibkr-paper to Claude Desktop MCP config (Store app path below)

  5. Restart Claude Desktop, start IB Gateway, then use the MCP tools in chat

Claude config (Microsoft Store): C:\Users\rodri\AppData\Local\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
