BRIEF: Installation and setup instructions
-->
# Installation
## Prerequisites
- **Node.js** 20.0.0 or later
- **npm** (included with Node.js)
- Access to the target API with valid credentials
## Install
```sh
git clone https://git.mokoconsulting.tech/MokoConsulting/mcp_windows.git
cd mcp_windows
npm install
npm run build
npm run setup
```
The setup wizard will prompt for:
1. **Connection name** — a label for this instance (e.g. `production`, `staging`)
2. **API URL** — the base URL of the instance
3. **API key/token** — authentication credentials
4. **TLS verification** — whether to skip certificate verification (for self-signed certs)
Run `npm run setup` again to add more connections.
## Register with Claude Code
Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (`~/.claude.json` or project `.mcp.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp_windows": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp_windows/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Code after adding the server.
## Configuration File
The config is stored at `~/.mcp_windows.json`:
```json
{
"defaultConnection": "production",
"connections": {
"production": {
"baseUrl": "https://api.example.com",
"apiKey": "your-api-key"
},
"staging": {
"baseUrl": "https://api-staging.example.com",
"apiKey": "your-staging-key",
"insecure": true
}
}
}
```
You can also set the `MCP_WINDOWS_CONFIG` environment variable to use a config file at a custom path.
## Verification
```sh
npm start
```
If configured correctly, the server will start listening on stdio.
## Troubleshooting
### "Failed to load config" error
Run `npm run setup` to create the config file.
### Connection errors
- Verify the API is reachable from your machine
- For self-signed certs, set `"insecure": true`
- Ensure the API key/token is valid
