         "args": ["/path/to/getutc-mcp/dist/index.js"],
         "timeout": 30000
       }
     }
   }
   

   For Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "getutc": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/getutc-mcp/dist/index.js"]
       }
