MCP: Give Claude Desktop Superpowers

Ever wished Claude could actually do things instead of just talking about them?

That's what MCP (Model Context Protocol) enables.

What is MCP?

MCP is a standard that lets AI:

1. Discover tools - Know what actions are available
2. Call tools - Execute real operations
3. Get results - Receive operation outcomes

Think of it like USB for AI - a universal interface.

IndieKit MCP Servers

We've built several MCP servers you can use:

indiekit-mcp

pip install indiekit-mcp

Let Claude manage your Notion workspace:

indiekit-doc2md

Setup

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indiekit": {
      "command": "indiekit-mcp"
    },
    "notion": {
      "command": "notion-mcp",
      "env": {
        "NOTION_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    },
    "doc2md": {
      "command": "doc2md-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Done.

Usage Examples

Just ask Claude:

• "Shorten this link: https://..."
• "Convert this PDF to Markdown"
• "Search my Notion for project notes"
• "Create a new Notion page titled..."

Claude automatically calls the right MCP tool.

Why MCP Matters

This is the future of AI agents.

Current AI can only talk. With MCP, it can act: - Organize your files - Update databases - Publish content - Monitor services
