## Setup 🛠️

### Installation 📦

Requires Python 3.13 or higher.

Install the package using `uv`:

```bash
uv pip install adls2-mcp-server
```

### MCP Configuration ⚙️

### Claude Desktop Configuration

1 - Edit Claude Desktop Configuration:

Open `claude_desktop_config.json` and add the following configuration.

On MacOs, the file is located here:
`~/Library/Application Support/Claude Desktop/claude_desktop_config.json`.

On Windows, the file is located here:
`%APPDATA%\Claude Desktop\claude_desktop_config.json`.

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "adls2": {
            "command": "adls2-mcp-server",
            "env": {
                "LOG_LEVEL": "DEBUG",
                "UPLOAD_ROOT": "/path/to/store/uploads",
                "DOWNLOAD_ROOT": "/path/to/store/downloads",
                "AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME": "your-azure-adls2-storage-account-name",
                "READ_ONLY_MODE": "false"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

The following is a table of available environment configuration variables:

| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Logging level | `INFO` |
| `UPLOAD_ROOT` | Root directory for file uploads | `./uploads` |
| `DOWNLOAD_ROOT` | Root directory for file downloads | `./downloads` |
| `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME` | Azure ADLS2 storage account name | `None` |
| `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY` | Azure ADLS2 storage account key (optional) | `None` |
| `READ_ONLY_MODE` | Whether the server should operate in read-only mode | `true` |


If `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY` is not set, the server will attempt to authenticate using Azure CLI credentials. Ensure you have logged in with Azure CLI before running the server:

```bash
az login
```

2 - Restart Claude Desktop.
