Claude Desktop local setup
Neotoma with Claude · Local setup for Claude Desktop (stdio transport).
Setup
Paste this prompt into another agent tool (for example Claude Code or Cursor) to install Neotoma and configure it for Claude Desktop. The agent handles npm install, initialization, and MCP configuration.
Follow this workflow to set up Neotoma:
1. Install Neotoma with npm install -g neotoma.
2. Initialize Neotoma with neotoma init.
3. Report what changed after install/init.
4. If I ask for integration setup after init, link the matching setup guide in docs/developer/ (for example mcp_cursor_setup.md, mcp_claude_code_setup.md, mcp_openclaw_setup.md).
5. Gather candidate data from available context, including facts this tool already remembers about me.
6. Present one preview list with provenance, mark already-stored vs new, and ask for explicit confirmation.
7. Save only what I explicitly confirm.
8. Pause after asking for confirmation. Do not save or continue until I approve.
Canonical source: https://github.com/markmhendrickson/neotoma/blob/main/install.mdClaude Desktop uses local stdio — Neotoma runs on the same machine. No API server or remote access is required. The agent writes to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and you restart Claude Desktop to pick up the new MCP server.
