3. Update Claude Desktop App Settings​

Open the following file with a text editor.

Configuration File Location:

  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following content to the file (if other MCP servers are already configured, add it within the mcpServers object).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genjo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "genjo-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After saving, restart the Claude Desktop App.

Verify Usage​

Preparation is complete. Try talking to Claude in natural language.

"Tell me the latest AI news" "What happened with OpenAI this week?"

If Claude automatically starts searching for information using Genjo's tools, it's a success! (You'll see a message like "Using Genjo..." on the chat screen)

Next Steps​

Basic setup is complete. If you want to use more advanced features, check the Skills Configuration.

  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "genjo-mcp-server"
