MCP Server Configuration Setup

This directory contains pre-configured JSON files for easy setup of all MCP transport modes.

📊 Architecture Overview

For a detailed understanding of how each MCP server implementation works, including visual diagrams and architecture explanations, see the Architecture Documentation.

The diagrams show:

• STDIO (Standard I/O) communication pattern
• MCP protocol request/response sequences
• Component interactions and data flow

Quick Setup

For Claude Desktop

1. Copy the configuration:

   cp guides/claude_mcp.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Update the stdio path in the copied file to match your actual installation path

3. Restart Claude Desktop

For Cursor IDE

1. Copy the configuration:

   cp guides/cursor_mcp.json ~/.cursor/mcp_servers.json

2. Update the stdio path in the copied file to match your actual installation path

3. Restart Cursor

Before Using

1. Install dependencies

npm i
npm i -g tsx

2. Test with debugger once

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector tsx src/index.ts

Available Servers

All three servers provide identical functionality:

• Tools: calculator, system_info
• Prompts: math_tutor, code_review
• Resources: system://status, math://constants

Transport Methods

1. tutorial-mcp-stdio - Standard input/output (always available)

Testing

After setup, test with any of these commands in Claude/Cursor:

• "Calculate 25 * 4 using the calculator tool"
• "Show me system information"
• "Use the math tutor prompt for algebra"

Troubleshooting

• Stdio not working: Check that the binary path is absolute and executable
• Changes not taking effect: Restart the application completely
