      "args": [

    }
  }
}

You run a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you query GRID API data from Claude for Desktop. This server exposes a stdio-based endpoint you start locally, enabling Claude to send questions to your spreadsheet-backed GRID data and receive structured results.

How to use

Configure Claude for Desktop to connect to this MCP server by adding a local stdio-based MCP entry. You will start the MCP process on your machine and Claude will communicate with it through standard input/output.

How to install

Prerequisites: Install Claude for Desktop, Node.js, and Git. Obtain a GRID API key by signing up with GRID and saving your API key.

# 1) Clone the MCP server repository
git clone https://github.com/GRID-is/claude-mcp.git

# 2) Move into the project directory
cd claude-mcp

# 3) Install dependencies
npm install

# 4) Build the server to generate dist/index.js
npm run build

Additional content

Configuration: Claude Desktop reads MCP server configurations from a JSON file located in your user profile. Add a new entry under mcpServers with the grid key. Use an absolute path to the built server script and provide your GRID API key as an environment variable.
