How to Set Up and Use Claude MCP Setup

Claude MCP Setup is a Python-based setup script that automates the installation and configuration of multiple Anthropic Claude MCP servers on Windows. It deploys a suite of 11 MCP integrations — including filesystem access, GitHub, Brave Search, memory, Gmail, Google Drive, image generation, task management, SQLite, and more — in a single run. Developers who want to get a full-featured Claude Desktop environment up and running without manually configuring each server will find this script invaluable.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x installed on Windows
  • Node.js installed (required for MCP server packages)
  • A Google Cloud project with Gmail and Drive APIs enabled and an OAuth consent screen configured
  • API keys for services you want: GitHub personal access token (GIT_PAT_TOKEN), Brave Search key (BRAVE_API_KEY), Replicate token (REPLICATE_API_TOKEN), Todoist token (TODOIST_API_TOKEN)
  • Claude Desktop installed with an MCP-capable version
1

Clone the repository

Clone the claude-mcp-setup repository to your local machine so you have the setup script and credential template files.

git clone https://github.com/patruff/claude-mcp-setup.git
cd claude-mcp-setup
2

Create a .env file with your API credentials

The setup script reads API keys from a .env file. Create it in the project root with the tokens for the services you want to enable.

GIT_PAT_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=r8_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
BRAVE_API_KEY=BSA_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TODOIST_API_TOKEN=your_todoist_token_here
3

Place your Google OAuth credentials

Download your OAuth 2.0 client credentials from Google Cloud Console (Desktop App type) and save the file as gcp-oauth.keys.json alongside the setup script.

4

Run the setup script

Execute the main setup script. It will install all MCP server packages, configure claude_desktop_config.json, and launch browser-based authentication for Gmail and Google Drive.

python setup_mcp.py
5

Skip prompts or auth if needed

Use --skip-prompts for non-interactive mode (CI or automated runs) or --skip-auth to bypass the Gmail/Drive OAuth browser flow if you don't need those integrations.

python setup_mcp.py --skip-prompts --skip-auth
6

Restart Claude Desktop

After the script completes, restart Claude Desktop. It will load the updated claude_desktop_config.json and all configured MCP servers will be available.

Claude MCP Setup Examples

Client configuration

The setup script auto-generates this config. Here is a representative excerpt showing the structure it writes to claude_desktop_config.json for the filesystem and GitHub servers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "C:\\Users\\YourName"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

After setup, use Claude Desktop to interact with all configured MCP servers.

- "List files in my home directory"
- "Search GitHub for open issues in my repositories"
- "Search Brave for the latest news on MCP servers"
- "Add a task to my Todoist inbox: review MCP setup"

Troubleshooting Claude MCP Setup

Gmail or Drive authentication fails or browser does not open

Ensure your Google Cloud OAuth consent screen is set to 'External' and your email is added as a test user. Re-run the script without --skip-auth and complete the browser flow.

MCP servers do not appear in Claude Desktop after running the script

Verify that the script completed without errors and that claude_desktop_config.json was updated. Fully quit and restart Claude Desktop (not just close the window).

Node.js package installation errors during setup

Ensure Node.js is installed and in your PATH. Run npm install -g npm to update npm, then re-run setup_mcp.py.
