This is what you need to insert in mcp.json:

MCP Poems Server (Test)

⚠️ Warning

This is a simple MCP server test.
Download and usage are entirely at your own risk.

What this MCP does

This connector creates a folder in your filesystem and provides the following tools:

• save_poem
  Use this if you want your model to generate a poem (or any text). The result will be saved in the default folder.

• list_poems
  Lets your model output a list of all poems in the poems folder.

• read_poem
  Allows your model to display a specific poem from the list.

• read_last_poem_aloud
  Reads the most recent poem from the list out loud.

• delete_poem
  Deletes a single poem. You can specify it by number or name.

• delete_all_poems
  Deletes all poems from the default folder.

• copy_poem
  Use this tool to rename (copy) an existing poem.

Installation

In VS Code or Claude Desktop

Add the following JSON to:

• mcp.json (VS Code), or
• claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-poems": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-poems"]
    }
  }
}

## Important Notes

- A default folder named `poems` will be created in your home directory.
- The outer `{}` brackets are maybe already present in the respective JSON files.  
  In this case **Do not copy them**, or you will get an error.
- You need to have node running otherwise the mcp server will not be installed. Try "node -v" or run npx -y mcp-poems.

## Final Step

To load the MCP connector:

1. Close your host application (VS Code or Claude Desktop)
2. Restart it

### Claude Desktop Users

Make sure to **fully quit the app**, including closing it via the system tray (trash icon).  
Otherwise, the MCP server will **not** be loaded properly.
