On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Runs in STDIO by default or with argument --stdio. To run in SSE add argument --sse

Run locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unichat-ts-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "{{/path/to}}/unichat-ts-mcp-server/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UNICHAT_MODEL": "YOUR_PREFERRED_MODEL_NAME",
        "UNICHAT_API_KEY": "YOUR_VENDOR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
}

Runs in STDIO by default or with argument --stdio. To run in SSE add argument --sse

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

If you experience timeouts during testing in SSE mode change the request URL on the inspector interface to: http://localhost:3001/sse?timeout=600000
