Configuring your MCP Client (Claude, Visual Studio…)

Use you MCP Server in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop config

Add your MCP server to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "peliqan": {
            "command": "uv",   // or "command": "python"
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_MCP_SERVER/peliqan-mcp",
                "run",
                "peliqan.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Use “python” or “uv” as the command. When using “uv”, replace “uv” above with the full path to uv. Use which uv to find the full path.

Location on Windows: $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Location on Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Test in Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop. Next click on the hammer icon in the right bottom corner to see the installed MCP servers, double check if Peliqan is listed with the tools that you implemented in your MCP Server (e.g. get_connections and read_data).

Use your MCP Server in VS Code (Copilot)

While Microsoft will soon release native support for MCP Servers, for now (March 2025) we use following extension in VS Code:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AutomataLabs.copilot-mcp

Install the Extension, open the new menu item in the left navigation menu “MCP Servers”, add a new server called “Peliqan” and use e.g. the following command:

/usr/local/bin/python FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_MCP_SERVER/peliqan.py

Note that we are not using uv and the virtual environment here.

Replace the path to Python with your path, use which python.

You might have to install npm first: https://nodejs.org/en/download

Add the Peliqan MCP Server:

After adding the MCP Server, the tools that you defined in the MCP Server should be visible:

Open Copilot Chat (top menu View > Chat) and use @mcp to invoke a tool from your MCP Server. Example: @mcp read_data table partners
