npm install
  1. Build the project:
npm run build
  1. Create a global link:
npm link

Configuration ⚙️

1. Claude Desktop Configuration

Configure Claude Desktop to recognize the EOL MCP server:

For macOS:

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

For Windows:

code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the EOL server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eol": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["/path/to/eol-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop

For the changes to take effect:

  1. Completely quit Claude Desktop (not just close the window)
  2. Start Claude Desktop again
  3. Look for the 🔌 icon to verify the EOL server is connected

Troubleshooting 🔧
