Claude Desktop setup

Edit the Claude Desktop MCP config and restart Claude after saving. On macOS the file is usually:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Local clone

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smartmoving": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/smartmoving-mcp/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SMARTMOVING_API_KEY": "replace-with-your-key",
        "SMARTMOVING_ALLOW_WRITES": "false",
        "SMARTMOVING_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

After npm publish

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smartmoving": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "smartmoving-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SMARTMOVING_API_KEY": "replace-with-your-key",
        "SMARTMOVING_ALLOW_WRITES": "false",
        "SMARTMOVING_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}
