Integration with Claude Desktop

To integrate the OpenStack MCP server with Claude Desktop, you need to configure the claude-desktop.json file. This file contains the necessary configuration for the integration.

Please update <path_to_your_jar> with the actual path to your JAR file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openstack-mcp-server": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "<path_to_your_jar>/openstack-mcp-server-0.0.1.jar",
