### Configuring Claude Desktop

Now we need to configure Claude Desktop.
Launch the desktop.
From the File menu, choose Settings.
Click on the Developer tab in the left-hand navigation pane.
Click on the Edit Config button.
Open the file named `claude_desktop_config.json` for editing in your favorite text editor,
then insert the following stanzas within `"mcpServers": {}`.
Save your update.
Close and re-launch Claude Desktop for the update to take effect.
Validate that the additional tools are present before crafting and executing your next prompt.

```json

  "args": [
    "-jar",
    "-Ddefault.url=https://cf-hoover.apps.dhaka.cf-app.com",
    "<path-to-.m2-home>/repository/org/cftoolsuite/cfapp/cf-kaizen-hoover-server/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/cf-kaizen-hoover-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

}
```
