+On first use, if Performance Studio isn't found automatically, the extension will prompt you to locate `PlanViewer.App.exe`. The path is saved to the registry (`HKCU\SOFTWARE\DarlingData\SQLPerformanceStudio\InstallPath`) so you only need to do this once.
 
 The extension searches for the app in this order:
 1. Registry key (set automatically after first browse)
 2. System PATH
 3. Common install locations (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\SQLPerformanceStudio\`, `Program Files`, etc.)
 
+## MCP Server (LLM Integration)
+
+The desktop GUI includes an embedded [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes loaded execution plans and Query Store data to LLM clients like Claude Code and Cursor.
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Enable the MCP server in `~/.planview/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp_enabled": true,
+  "mcp_port": 5152
+}
+```
+
+2. Register with Claude Code:
+
+```
+claude mcp add --transport streamable-http --scope user performance-studio http://localhost:5152/
+```
+
+3. Open a new Claude Code session and ask questions like:
+   - "What plans are loaded in the application?"
+   - "Analyze the execution plan and tell me what's wrong"
+   - "Are there any missing index suggestions?"
+   - "Compare these two plans — which is better?"
+   - "Fetch the top 10 queries by CPU from Query Store"
+
+### Available Tools
+
+13 tools for plan analysis and Query Store data:
+
+| Category | Tools |
+|---|---|
+| Discovery | `list_plans`, `get_connections` |
+| Plan Analysis | `analyze_plan`, `get_plan_summary`, `get_plan_warnings`, `get_missing_indexes`, `get_plan_parameters`, `get_expensive_operators`, `get_plan_xml`, `compare_plans`, `get_repro_script` |
+| Query Store | `check_query_store`, `get_query_store_top` |
+
+Plan analysis tools work on plans loaded in the app (via file open, paste, query execution, or Query Store fetch). Query Store tools use a built-in read-only DMV query — no arbitrary SQL can be executed.
+
+The MCP server binds to `localhost` only and does not accept remote connections. Disabled by default.
