🔌 Connect to Claude Desktop

You can use the AI Digital Library Assistant as a tool provider for Claude Desktop! This allows you to chat with Claude and have it directly access your library, search documents, and even trigger podcast generation.

Prerequisites

• Claude Desktop App installed.
• The AI Digital Library Assistant running (either locally or on Hugging Face Spaces).

Configuration

1. Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

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

2. Add the following configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "ai-library": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "-y",
           "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sse",
           "--url",
           "https://nihal2000-aidigitallibraryassistant.hf.space/sse"
         ]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Note: Replace https://nihal2000-aidigitallibraryassistant.hf.space with your actual Space URL if different. If running locally, you can use the local SSE endpoint (usually http://localhost:7860/sse).

3. Restart Claude Desktop.

What You Can Do

Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:

• "Search my library for documents."
• "Summarize the last PDF I uploaded."
• "Create a podcast script from these search results."
• "Generate tags for this document ID."
