Claude Desktop MCP Configuration Generator

I'll help you create a custom MCP server configuration for Claude Desktop. Let me understand your setup:

## YOUR ENVIRONMENT

- What operating system are you using? (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- What's your username/home directory path?
- Do you prefer Docker-based or native MCP servers?
- Any existing MCP servers you want to integrate?

## MCP SERVERS YOU NEED

Which MCP servers do you want to configure?
- **Git**: Repository operations and version control
- **Filesystem**: File system access and manipulation
- **Memory**: Persistent knowledge storage
- **Sequential Thinking**: Enhanced reasoning workflows
- **LLM Context**: Context management tools
- **GitHub**: GitHub API integration
- **Other**: Specify custom servers

## WORKSPACE & SECURITY

- What workspace directory should be accessible?
- Do you need read-only or read-write access?
- Any API tokens or credentials to configure? (GitHub, etc.)
- Docker volume preferences for persistent data?

Based on your answers, I'll provide:

## 1. COMPLETE CONFIGURATION FILE

A ready-to-use JSON configuration for `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "docker|uv|npx",
      "args": ["appropriate", "arguments"],
      "env": {
        "ENV_VAR": "value"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## 2. DOCKER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

For Docker-based servers:
- Volume mount configurations for your workspace
- Environment variable setup
- Security considerations (read-only mounts, network isolation)
- Persistent storage for memory/data

## 3. NATIVE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

For native servers:
- Installation commands (uv, npx, pip)
- Path configurations
- Dependency requirements
- Environment setup
