Setting up the MCP

First, you'll need to set up the GUM in general and have it build some sense of your context. To do this, follow the instructions in the docs here. You'll also need a client that supports MCP. One example client is the MacOS Claude Desktop app, which you can download here. The Claude desktop app requires the uv package manager for MCP, so you'll need to follow the instructions on the uv website (or simply brew install uv).

NOTE: If you didn't use brew, make sure uv is installed globally

Annoyingly, some apps (Claude) don't look at your local PATH. So if you didn't use brew, your uv might be in your local bin ~/.local/bin/uv. You can test this by running which uv. Luckily, you can just set a symlink to fix this:

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/uv /usr/local/bin/uv

One-click Desktop Extension (DXT)

DXTs are extention files that make the MCP setup really easy. First, make sure the Claude desktop app is updated! Download the .dxt file below and just double-click (or drag it into the extensions page in the Claude Desktop app; Claude > Settings > Extensions). You'll be asked to provide your full name so the GUM knows who you are. Don't forget to enable the extension, and you'll be good to go!
