| ## Client Integration | |
| ### Claude Desktop | |
| **Setup:** | |
| 1. Install Claude Desktop | |
| 2. Edit `claude_desktop_config.json` | |
| 3. Add FleetMind server configuration | |
| 4. Restart Claude Desktop | |
| **Example:** | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "mcpServers": { | |
| "fleetmind": { | |
| "command": "python", | |
| "args": ["F:\\github-fleetmind-team\\server.py"] | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Continue.dev (VS Code) | |
| **Setup:** | |
| 1. Install Continue extension | |
| 2. Add FleetMind to MCP servers | |
| 3. Reload VS Code | |
| ### Cline (VS Code) | |
| **Setup:** | |
| 1. Install Cline extension | |
| 2. Configure MCP server | |
| 3. Start using tools | |
| ### Custom Applications | |
| **Any application supporting MCP protocol can integrate!** | |
| --- | |
| ## Known Issues & Limitations | |
| ### 1. Prompts Deferred | |
| **Issue:** FastMCP prompt API changed in v2.13.0 | |
| **Status:** Prompts commented out, tools fully functional | |
| **Impact:** Low - prompts are optional, tools work perfectly | |
| **Resolution:** Will add once API confirmed | |
| ### 2. Dependency Conflicts (Expected) | |
| **Issue:** Some packages have version conflicts with Gradio | |
| **Status:** Warnings only, no functional impact | |
| **Impact:** None - Gradio being removed | |
| **Resolution:** Clean install recommended | |
| ### 3. Windows Path Issues | |
| **Issue:** Windows pip sometimes has permission errors | |
| **Status:** Resolved using `--user` flag | |
| **Impact:** Installation only | |
| **Resolution:** Use `pip install --user` | |
