Quick Start (via npx)

The fastest way is to use the published NPM package — no install, no clone:

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "limadata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["limadata-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIMADATA_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key from https://app.limadata.com/settings/apikeys, then restart Claude Desktop.
