Claude Desktop Settings

This section explains the steps to integrate Genjo with the Claude Desktop App. The process is completed in two steps: "Preparation" and "Finishing".

Prerequisites

To use this feature, the Claude Desktop App must be installed on your PC. If you haven't yet, please install it and log in first.

Step 1: Preparation (Command Execution)​

First, configure Claude so it can use Genjo's tools (such as news retrieval functions).

1. Open Terminal​

💻 For Mac users
  1. Press the Command (⌘) key and the Space key simultaneously on your keyboard to bring up the search bar (Spotlight).
  2. Type "terminal" and click to open the "Terminal" app that appears.
🖥️ For Windows users
  1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
  2. Type "powershell" and click to open "Windows PowerShell" that appears.

2. Copy and Paste the Command​

Copy and paste the following text into the opened screen and press the Enter key.

npx -y genjo-mcp-server install

It will complete in a few to several tens of seconds. It is successful if "🎉 Setup complete!" is displayed at the end. This operation creates a folder named genjo-ai-news in the location where you executed the setup.

Step 2: Finishing (Uploading Skills)​

Next, teach Claude the specialized knowledge of "how to use Genjo's tools". This is called "Uploading Skills".

  1. Compress the Folder: Compress the genjo-ai-news folder created in Step 1 into ZIP format.

    • Mac: Right-click the folder and select "Compress 'genjo-ai-news'".
    • Windows: Right-click the folder and select "Compress to ZIP file".

  2. Open Claude Settings: Open the Claude Desktop App, click your username in the lower left, and open Settings.

  3. Upload the Skill:

    • Find Capabilities or Developer from the left menu and open the Skills section within it.
    • Press the Upload skill button, select the ZIP file you just created, and upload it.
    • Turn the switch for the added skill to ON.

  4. Restart: To be safe, please completely quit (Quit) the Claude Desktop App and then reopen it.

Check How to Use​

Everything is ready. Try talking to Claude in natural language.

"Tell me the latest AI news." "What movements have been there about OpenAI this week?"

If Claude automatically starts looking for information using Genjo's tools, it's a success! (A display like "Using Genjo..." will appear in the chat screen.)

Uninstall Instructions (Removal Method)​

If you want to disconnect Genjo, follow these steps.

1. Deleting the Skill​

  1. Open Settings in the Claude Desktop App.
  2. Open the Skills section.
  3. Press the delete button (such as a trash can icon) next to genjo-ai-news to delete it.

2. Deleting the MCP Tool​

Open the following file with a text editor and delete the description related to genjo.

Location of setting file:

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

Part to delete:

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

Delete the above block, save, and restart the Claude App.
