By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The author details three practical ModelContextProtocol (MCP) servers that enhance the functionality of Claude Desktop. These servers, including one for filesystem access, another for GitHub integration, and a third for PostgreSQL database interaction, allow Claude to directly read project files, review code, and query databases without leaving the conversation. The setup for each server is described as a quick process involving installation via `mcp-hub` and a configuration restart of Claude Desktop, with a caution about the filesystem server's potential access.
