MCP Study #2 — Connecting My MCP Server to Claude Desktop · Tool Calls + Approval UX
Actually connecting the energy-management MCP server I built yesterday to Claude Desktop. From finding claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) → registering the server → restarting → checking the connectors menu → asking 'show me the factory line list' and watching Claude call the tool with the 'Always Allow/Deny' approval UX. Question raised: how do you use RAG and MCP together? (Answer: wrap RAG in an MCP server)
