# 🔌 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](https://claude.ai/download) 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:

    ```json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ai-library": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "mcp-remote",
            "https://mcp-1st-birthday-ai-digital-library-assistant.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
