claude code howto?

[danbri]

A quick example of how to wire this up with Claude Code would be really useful!

I've followed the setup steps for Claude Desktop but cannot get it to work, I'm getting similar errors to those who have tried it with Cursor.

What's never very clear to me is if I need to install npm packages first or just need to update the respective MCP config files.

I'm seeing 'Server disconnected' in the UI and this in the logs.
