### Configuration with Claude Desktop

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llms-txt-explorer": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/llms-txt-explorer/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

For npx usage, you can use:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llms-txt-explorer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thedaviddias/mcp-llms-txt-explorer"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:

```bash
pnpm run inspector
```

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
