This guide explains how to connect your AI assistant to the AMF Doctrine MCP Server, regardless of your operating system or AI client.

⭐ Recommended Method — Claude Desktop (native connector)

If you use Claude Desktop, this is the simplest method — no Node.js required, no JSON file to edit.

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
3. Fill in only:
   • Name: AMF MCP
   • Remote MCP server URL: https://amf.paprasse.com/mcp
4. Click Add
5. A login page opens → sign in with Google or email/password
6. Done! ✅

⚠️ Whitelisted access only: your email must be authorized by the administrator.

📦 Prerequisites — Install Node.js (other clients only)

ℹ️ Node.js is not required if you use the Claude Desktop method above. This section only applies to Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Code, etc.

mcp-remote (the bridge that connects your AI client to the server) is a Node.js package. You don't need to know Node.js — it is only used to run mcp-remote.

Windows

1. Go to nodejs.org → download the LTS version
2. Run the .msi installer and follow the steps (leave all defaults)
3. Verify the installation in PowerShell:

node --version
npx --version
