Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`  
**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`  
**Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tryaii": {
      "command": "tryaii-mcp",
      "env": {
        "TRYAII_API_KEY": "your-tryaii-api-key-here"

## 💡 Example Usage

Once configured, you can use these tools directly in Claude:

### Compare Multiple Models
```
Compare the responses from GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini Pro for: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
```

### Get Model Information
```
What are the capabilities and pricing for GPT-4o?
```

### Use the Brains Feature
```
Use the brains tool to get collective intelligence on: "What are the best practices for AI safety?"
```

### Chat with Specific Model
```
Chat with DeepSeek Coder about implementing a binary search algorithm in Python
```

## 🔍 Architecture

This MCP server acts as a bridge to the hosted TryAII service:

```
Claude Desktop ↔ tryaii-mcp (npm package) ↔ tryaii-mcp.onrender.com ↔ AI Providers
```

### Key Features:
- **Smart Fallback**: Uses your API keys first, then server fallback keys
- **Cost Tracking**: Real-time cost analysis across all providers
- **Web Search**: Enhanced responses with Brave Search integration
- **Comparison Tools**: Side-by-side model comparisons
- **Collective Intelligence**: Multi-model consensus responses

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### Server Not Responding
1. Check server status: https://tryaii-mcp.onrender.com/health
2. Verify your API key is correct
3. Try restarting Claude Desktop

### API Key Issues
- TryAII API keys start with `tai_`
- Get your key from https://tryaii.com/settings
- Verify the key is set in your environment configuration

### Tool Not Available
