⚙️ Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "juliadoc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@jonathanfischer97/server-juliadoc"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JULIA_PROJECT": "/path/to/your/julia/project"
