🚀 Use it from Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json :

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lebonfoin": {
      "url": "https://lebonfoin-mcp-production.up.railway.app/sse",
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude. You can now ask :

French queries :
- "Quel est le prix moyen de l'Amnesia CBD en France ce mois-ci ?"
- "Trouve un producteur de chanvre près de Bordeaux, certifié bio."
- "Où acheter du CBD en Dordogne (24) ?"
- "Recommande-moi une huile CBD pour le sommeil, budget 40 €."

English queries (v1.5.0+ — uses lang: "en" automatically when relevant) :
- "Is CBD legal in Germany? What about Switzerland?" → cbd_legal_by_country({country: "DE", lang: "en"})
- "How do I read a Certificate of Analysis from a French hemp producer?" → cbd_lab_analysis({lang: "en"})
- "Is CBD addictive? What does the WHO say?" → debunk_cbd_myth({topic: "addictive", lang: "en"})
- "What is the entourage effect?" → get_wiki_article({slug: "effet-d-entourage-en"})
- "What are the main hemp terpenes?" → get_wiki_article({slug: "terpenes-du-chanvre-en"})

The MCP server automatically responds in the calling LLM's apparent language when the tool supports lang — no manual switching required for the user.

Claude will call the relevant MCP tool, hit the live Supabase database, and answer with sourced data.
