### Quickstart: Claude for Desktop #### Install Claude for Desktop is currently available on macOS and Windows. Install Claude for Desktop [here](https://claude.ai/download) #### Configuration Follow the general instructions [here](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user) to configure the Claude desktop client. You can find your Claude config at one of the following locations: - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` Then choose one of the following methods that best suits your needs and add it to your `claude_desktop_config.json`
Using pip (Option 1) Install release from PyPI ```bash pip install chronulus-mcp ``` (Option 2) Install from Github ```bash git clone https://github.com/ChronulusAI/chronulus-mcp.git cd chronulus-mcp pip install . ``` ```json { "mcpServers": { "chronulus-agents": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "chronulus_mcp"], "env": { "CHRONULUS_API_KEY": "" } } } } ``` Note, if you get an error like "MCP chronulus-agents: spawn python ENOENT", then you most likely need to provide the absolute path to `python`. For example `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3` instead of just `python`
Using docker Here we will build a docker image called 'chronulus-mcp' that we can reuse in our Claude config. ```bash git clone https://github.com/ChronulusAI/chronulus-mcp.git cd chronulus-mcp docker build . -t 'chronulus-mcp' ``` In your Claude config, be sure that the final argument matches the name you give to the docker image in the build command. ```json { "mcpServers": { "chronulus-agents": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "CHRONULUS_API_KEY", "chronulus-mcp"], "env": { "CHRONULUS_API_KEY": "" } } } } ```
Using uvx `uvx` will pull the latest version of `chronulus-mcp` from the PyPI registry, install it, and then run it. ```json { "mcpServers": { "chronulus-agents": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["chronulus-mcp"], "env": { "CHRONULUS_API_KEY": "" } } } } ``` Note, if you get an error like "MCP chronulus-agents: spawn uvx ENOENT", then you most likely need to either: 1. [install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) or 2. Provide the absolute path to `uvx`. For example `/Users/username/.local/bin/uvx` instead of just `uvx`
#### Additional Servers (Filesystem, Fetch, etc) In our demo, we use third-party servers like [fetch](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/fetch) and [filesystem](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem). For details on installing and configure third-party server, please reference the documentation provided by the server maintainer. Below is an example of how to configure filesystem and fetch alongside Chronulus in your `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "chronulus-agents": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["chronulus-mcp"], "env": { "CHRONULUS_API_KEY": "" } }, "filesystem": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/AIWorkspace" ] }, "fetch": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"] } } } ``` #### Claude Preferences To streamline your experience using Claude across multiple sets of tools, it is best to add your preferences to under Claude Settings. You can upgrade your Claude preferences in a couple ways: * From Claude Desktop: `Settings -> General -> Claude Settings -> Profile (tab)` * From [claude.ai/settings](https://claude.ai/settings): `Profile (tab)` Preferences are shared across both Claude for Desktop and Claude.ai (the web interface). So your instruction need to work across both experiences. Below are the preferences we used to achieve the results shown in our demos: ``` ## Tools-Dependent Protocols The following instructions apply only when tools/MCP Servers are accessible. ### Filesystem - Tool Instructions - Do not use 'read_file' or 'read_multiple_files' on binary files (e.g., images, pdfs, docx) . - When working with binary files (e.g., images, pdfs, docx) use 'get_info' instead of 'read_*' tools to inspect a file. ### Chronulus Agents - Tool Instructions - When using Chronulus, prefer to use input field types like TextFromFile, PdfFromFile, and ImageFromFile over scanning the files directly. - When plotting forecasts from Chronulus, always include the Chronulus-provided forecast explanation below the plot and label it as Chronulus Explanation. ```

FAQ

What is the Chronulus AI Forecasting MCP server?
Chronulus AI Forecasting is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for Chronulus AI Forecasting?
This profile displays 46 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.6 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

Technical Details▌

Architecture

Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.

Protocols

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • JSON-RPC 2.0
  • stdio or HTTP transport

Compatibility

  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor IDE
  • Custom MCP clients

When to Use This▌

✓ Use When

Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.

Integration▌

  • →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
  • →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
  • →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
  • →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
