From the repository
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"juliadoc": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@jonathanfischer97/server-juliadoc"
],
"env": {
"JULIA_PROJECT": "/path/to/your/julia/project"
}
}
}
}
The server will use:
- Your specified Julia project if JULIA_PROJECT is set in the config
- The default global Julia environment if no project is specified
- Your system's default Julia installation (must be accessible in PATH)
npm install
