# ENCODE Toolkit Setup

## When to Use

- User needs help installing or configuring the ENCODE Toolkit MCP server
- User is getting connection errors or server startup failures
- User asks "how do I set up ENCODE?" or "install ENCODE toolkit"
- User needs to configure ENCODE credentials for restricted data access
- User wants to verify their ENCODE server connection is working
- User is setting up a new environment and needs the ENCODE plugin

Help the user set up the ENCODE Toolkit server. The server connects Claude to the ENCODE Project genomics database — the largest public catalog of functional genomic elements with 8,000+ experiments across 50+ assay types.

## Installation

The ENCODE Toolkit server is installed via `uvx` (recommended) or `pip`:

### For Claude Code (CLI)
```bash
claude mcp add encode -- uvx encode-toolkit
```

### For Claude Desktop
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "encode": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["encode-toolkit"]
    }
  }
}
```

Then restart Claude Desktop.
