## Configuring MCP Clients

### Generic MCP Client Configuration

MCP clients typically require configuration to connect to the server. Here's a general example of how to configure an MCP client:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@microsoft/clarity-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@microsoft/clarity-mcp-server",
        "--clarity_api_token=your-api-token-here"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

The specifics of where and how to add this configuration will depend on your specific MCP client.

### Claude for Desktop Configuration

To configure Claude for Desktop to use this server:

1. Open your Claude for Desktop configuration file:
   - **Windows**: `%AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
   - **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
2. Add the configuration shown in the generic example above
3. Save the configuration file and restart Claude for Desktop
