Using with Claude for Desktop

To use with Claude for Desktop, add this server to your Claude configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fedspeak": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/mk/Documents/Python/AI Playground/mcp/fedspeak/src/fedspeak",
        "run",
        "fedspeak"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FEDSPEAK_API_ENDPOINT": "https://fedspeak-mcp-backend-671377599496.us-central1.run.app"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: This configuration uses UV to run the fedspeak server in a src-based package structure. The API endpoint connects to the Cloud Run backend service that handles all database operations and FOMC statement retrieval.
