Modify it to the following content, replacing the path of build/index.js with the actual path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
      "get-subjects": {
          "command": "node",
          "args": [
              "C:\\Users\\sifue\\workspace\\zen-syllabus-mcp\\build\\index.js"
          ]
      }
  }
}

Mac Configuration

Edit the settings file:

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

Modify it to the following content, replacing the path of build/index.js with the actual path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
      "get-subjects": {
          "command": "node",
          "args": [
              "/Users/sifue/workspace/zen-syllabus-mcp/build/index.js"
          ]
      }
  }
}

Using nvm (e.g., Node.js version management tool)

Configure as follows:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "get-subjects": {
            "command": "/Users/soichiro_yoshimura/.nvm/versions/node/v22.14.0/bin/node",
            "args": [
                "/Users/soichiro_yoshimura/workspace/zen-syllabus-mcp/build/index.js"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Please replace the paths according to your actual situation.

After completing the configuration, restart Claude Desktop.
