# Claude Desktop Setup The [Anthropic documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user) is always the definitive source, but here's a quick guide to setting up the MCP server in the Claude Desktop: 1. Open the settings window in Claude Desktop. 2. Click on the "Developer" settings tab. 3. Click "Edit Config." 4. Add the MCP server in the `mcpServers` configuration section. 5. Save and restart Claude Desktop. Here's an example configuration. You'll need to know the path to the nodejs program, and the (full!) path to `index.js` in the `build` folder. ```json { "mcpServers": { "stadiamaps": { "command": "/path/to/node", "args": ["/path/to/stadiamaps-mcp-server-ts/build/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY" } } } } ```
