Setup by client
Claude Desktop
- This is a curriculum repository, not a runnable server
- Follow the tutorial: build the sample server, then register it in `claude_desktop_config.json` exactly as the docs show
Known issues & workarounds
⚠︎ Tutorial examples assume a specific SDK version
Check the `requirements.txt` / pinned versions in the repo before copy-pasting; MCP SDKs move fast.
