Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Claude MCP Get
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Clone the repository, then run find-nodejs.bat to identify Node.js installations, cleanup-nodejs.bat if needed, and install-mcp.bat to install an MCP server. Follow the displayed configuration instructions.

Claude MCP Get

A comprehensive toolkit for installing and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Claude Desktop on Windows systems.

Overview

This repository contains scripts, configurations, and documentation to help Windows users successfully install and use Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Claude Desktop. It focuses on overcoming the common issues that prevent MCP connections on Windows, particularly problems with npx commands, path resolution, and multiple Node.js installations.

Key Features

- Diagnostic tools to identify Node.js installations
- Installation scripts that avoid common pitfalls
- Configuration templates with absolute paths
- Troubleshooting guides for "Could not attach to MCP server" errors
- Solutions for NVM and Node.js path issues

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository
2. Run find-nodejs.bat to identify your Node.js installations
3. Run cleanup-nodejs.bat if you have multiple installations
4. Run install-mcp.bat to install the MCP server of your choice
5. Follow the configuration instructions displayed

Common Windows Issues & Solutions

NPX Connection Failures

The most common issue on Windows is MCP servers failing to connect when using npx commands in claude_desktop_config.json. This is due to how Claude Desktop launches subprocesses on Windows.

Solution: Use direct node execution with absolute paths, like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe",
      "args": [
        "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@modelcontextprotocol\\server-name\\dist\\index.js",
        "parameter1", "parameter2"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPDATA": "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\",
        "PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs",
        "NODE_PATH": "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules"
      }
    }
  }
}

Multiple Node.js Installations

Having multiple Node.js installations (especially with NVM) causes path resolution issues.

Solution: Use the standard Node.js installation in the default location and specify absolute paths.

Task Manager Restart Required

Simply closing and reopening Claude Desktop often doesn't fully reload configurations.

Solution: End all Claude Desktop processes in Task Manager before restarting.
