Integration with Claude Desktop

To use this server with Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

NOTE: Replace <DIRECTORY-OF-CLONED-PROJECT> with the actual path to the cloned project directory.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphavantage": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<DIRECTORY-OF-CLONED-PROJECT>/alphavantage",
        "run",
        "alphavantage"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

This configuration defines an MCP server named "alphavantage" that uses the uv command to execute the server. The args specify the directory and the command to run. The env section sets the ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY environment variable, which is required for the server to authenticate with the Alphavantage API. Remember to replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your actual API key.
