+# Phase 5: Claude Desktop Integration
+
+**Purpose**: Configure server in Claude Desktop for immediate use
+
+## Configuration Location
+
+- **macOS/Linux**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+## TypeScript Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "server-name": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-name/build/index.js"],
+      "env": {
+        "API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Python Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "server-name": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": [
+        "--directory",
+        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-name",
+        "run",
+        "main.py"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Critical Requirements
+
+- ✅ **Use ABSOLUTE paths** (not relative like `./` or `~/`)
+- ✅ Run `npm run build` before testing (TypeScript)
+- ✅ Completely restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS)
+- ✅ Valid JSON syntax (check with `python -m json.tool`)
+
+## Output
+
+Complete Claude Desktop configuration with restart instructions
+
+## Transition
+
+Proceed to Phase 6 (Testing & Validation)
