Installation
For Claude Desktop
- Install the package:
npm install -g fake-store-mcp
- Configure Claude Desktop:
Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fake-store": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "fake-store-mcp"]
}
}
}
Alternative (if installed globally):
{
"mcpServers": {
"fake-store": {
"command": "fake-store-mcp"
}
}
}
- Restart Claude Desktop
The tools will now be available in your Claude conversations!
For Other MCP Clients
If you're using another MCP-compatible client, you can run the server directly:
npx fake-store-mcp
Or install it locally in your project:
npm install fake-store-mcp
Usage Examples
Example 1: Browsing Products
User: "Show me the first 5 products from the store"
Claude: Uses list_products tool with limit: 5
Example 2: Product Search
User: "What electronics products are available?"
Claude: Uses list_categories first, then get_products_by_category with category: "electronics"
Example 3: User Cart Analysis
User: "Show me what user 1 has in their shopping carts"
Claude: Uses get_user_carts with userId: 1
Example 4: Product Details
User: "Tell me more about product ID 5"
Claude: Uses get_product with id: 5
