This guide will help you install the Sno MCP Server and connect it to your Claude Desktop app.

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ installed on your machine.
  • Claude Desktop App installed (Download here).

​
Installation

​
1. Install the Server

You can run the Sno MCP server directly using npx (no installation required) or install it globally. We recommend using npx for the latest version. 
npx @snoai/mcp-server start

​
2. Configure Claude Desktop

To use Sno with Claude, you need to add it to your Claude configuration file.
  1. Open the configuration file:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  2. Add the following configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@snoai/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
If the file doesn’t exist, create it. If you already have other MCP servers, just add “sno” to the mcpServers object.

​
3. Restart Claude

Completely quit the Claude Desktop app (Cmd+Q) and restart it. You should see a 🔌 icon (or a plug icon) in the input bar. Click it to verify that sno is connected.

​
Verify It Works

Try asking Claude to remember something:
“Please remember that my favorite color is #0047AB (Cobalt Blue).”
Then, start a new chat and ask:
“What is my favorite color?”
If Sno is working, Claude will retrieve the context and answer correctly!
