⚙️ Configuration

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

HTTP Version Configuration (Recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "akshare": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<your-project-path>/src/http-server.js"],
      "description": "AKShare Financial Data MCP Server (HTTP)"
    }
  }
}

Python Version Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "akshare": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<your-project-path>/src/server.js"],
      "description": "AKShare Financial Data MCP Server (Python)"
    }
  }
}

Note:

• Replace <your-project-path> with your actual absolute path
• Windows: use double backslashes \\, e.g., D:\\projects\\akshare-mcp-server\\src\\http-server.js
• macOS/Linux: use forward slashes /, e.g., /home/user/akshare-mcp-server/src/http-server.js
