Configuration Steps

1. Locate the configuration file:

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

2. Edit the configuration file and add the sentinel server:

Hosted HTTP Mode (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sentinel": {
      "url": "https://priceminder.online/mcp_server?key=YOUR_MCP_KEY"
    }
  }
}

Local stdio Mode

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sentinel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sentinel-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SENTINEL_API_BASE": "https://priceminder.online/api/v1",
        "SENTINEL_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

TIP

If the configuration file does not exist, create it manually. Ensure the JSON format is correct.

3. Fully quit Claude Desktop (not minimize), then reopen it
4. You can now use natural language to operate monitoring data in conversations

Verification

After reopening Claude, try the following:

• "My watch list"
• "Any new price drop alerts?"

If tools load correctly, Claude will automatically call the corresponding MCP Tool.
