## Installation

### Installing via Smithery

To install React MCP for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@Streen9/react-mcp):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @Streen9/react-mcp --client claude
```

### Manual Installation
1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install

## Usage

Add this in `claude_desktop_config`:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "react-mcp": {

        "C:/Users/kalip/OneDrive/Desktop/react-mcp/index.js"
      ]
    },
