Open this file in a text editor:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wander-agent": {
      "command": "wander-agent"
    }
  }
}

Save the file, then quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

If you get an error about wander-agent not being found, find the full path first:

which wander-agent

Then use that path in the config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wander-agent": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/wander-agent"
    }
  }
}
