Open Claude Desktop Config

Find your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add FetchMD to Your Config

With API key (recommended — tracks usage against your plan):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fetchmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@fetchmd/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FETCHMD_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or without a key (anonymous, may be rate limited):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fetchmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@fetchmd/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
