Running Locally with Claude App

To use this MCP server with Claude App, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings > Developer in Claude App.

2. Add or update your configuration as shown below, replacing <absolute_path_to_the_folder> with the full path to your project directory:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "lottery": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": [
           "--directory",
           "<absolute_path_to_the_folder>",
           "run",
           "main.py"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

3. After connecting, a blue running tag will appear next to your server name in the Local MCP servers list.

4. Access the server's tools by clicking the Search and tools button in the chat interface.

This confirms the MCP server is running and integrated with Claude App.

Troubleshoot

• Unable to connect MCP server locally

  • If uv is already installed, it may mean that Claude cannot find it. Turn on the terminal and set a symlink:

      sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/uv /usr/local/bin/uv
