Installation is similar on Linux, macOS, and Windows (with WSL2 enabled on Windows).
Default Claude Desktop config path: Linux `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`, macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`, and Windows `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`.
This applies to Claude Desktop.
Local configuration:
Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"luminon": {
"command": "luminon",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}Remote configuration:
Luminon exposes the server over HTTP. Start it with `luminon start remote`.
luminon start remoteIf your client version supports remote MCP servers by URL, add the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"luminon_remote": {
"url": "<myluminonserver>",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer lbt_b0d158c9e3f94bd3bc8245504c74114b"
}
}
}
}
The `Authorization` Bearer token is generated with `luminon token create`, as explained in 2.3 . The URL is the IP address or domain name of the machine where Luminon is running. With the `luminon_remote` name, you can keep this connection alongside `luminon` for the local MCP in the same `claude_desktop_config.json`.
