📚 Documentation

Configuration

First, make sure you have installed uv (and Python).

To integrate this server with Claude for Desktop, update your configuration file:

MacOS/Linux:

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

Windows:

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Example configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "precipitation": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server",
                "run",
                "server.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server with the actual path where the server is located.

Restart Claude for Desktop to make the tool available.

You may need to provide the full path to uv instead of just uv. To find the full path of the uv executable, run which uv on MacOS/Linux.
