@DavidOndrej n8n x Claude MCP when? That is the real bigger picture. How to get this done?

[@jacekwojcieszynski8368]

only if it works for windows

[@CoreyLansdell]

I am not a programmer. I love the notion of what these tools could do. I'm curious. Could I build something that would go through my files on my computer and in my email and gather all my receipts from the year into a folder, then create a spreadsheet tracking all the expenses across areas like travel, hardware, meetings etc. to shortcut my tracking of data for submitting to my accountant for my small business' taxes? I"m just curious if this is the kind of thing that this can empower me to do? Even not being a programmer?

[@jvangeene]

I love your enthusiasm - you are right in stating the obvious here: a game changer. Well explained.

[@knecting]

For those having issues with this, here is how I resolved it. 1. Initial Setup: - Installed Node.js using nvm (Node Version Manager) via Homebrew - Made sure to install nvm first, then Node.js through nvm (order was important) 2. Configuration File: - Located the proper config file path: `/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` - Had to handle spaces in the path name correctly (this was tricky!) 3. Key Changes That Made It Work: - Used the full path to npx: `/Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v23.3.0/bin/npx` - Added proper environment variables (PATH and NODE_PATH) - Made sure to use the correct Brave API key (we had to try between two different keys - the "Data for Search" one) - Created a clean JSON file directly in VS Code instead of using echo commands to avoid formatting issues 4. Final Working Configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "brave-search": { "command": "/Users/yourname.nvm/versions/node/v23.3.0/bin/npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search" ], "env": { "BRAVE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY", "PATH": "/Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v23.3.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin", "NODE_PATH": "/Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v23.3.0/lib/node_modules" } } } } ``` 5. Important Steps After Changes: - Always fully quit Claude Desktop (Command+Q) - Restart the application - Verify the MCP server is running with "Brave Search MCP Server running on stdio" The key lesson was to be methodical and verify each component (Node.js installation, config file location, API key, and proper paths) step by step until we got it working (me and Claude).

[@RudyDeLaGarza]

Thanks @knecting Really helpful and I still had to have Claude help me with troubleshooting, but it eventually worked!

[@AndyHoebeke]

Awesome. Have the same nvm node setup. What fixed it was using the full path for npx in the .json and also adding the NODE_PATH in there. That was enough thanks!!

[@okiesumos]

Yeah, the PATH in env was the key for me.

[@JimmysNotes]

installing node.js this way was the fix! tysm

[@timschnurr]

this nodepath addition worked for me as well with a long claude troubleshoot..

Incase anyone wants to just replicate! Please do the following: - make a simple html page - create a repository called "new-society-test" - Push the html page to the "new-society-test" repo - Add a little css to the html page and then push it up - Make an issue suggesting we add some more content on the html page - Now make a branch called feature and make that fix and push the change - Make a pull request against main with these changes

[@vassilyn5378]

if you're on macos and it doesn't work right away, ask claude to troubleshoot it :) in my case it turned out that it needed the full path to npx (which in its turn required node.js installed which in its turned required xcode and so on). after a couple of hours of installs and some version compatibility issues with the older macos, it works!

[@monkeytees9478]

Just an FYI on Windows (Possibly Mac as well) if you download and open the Claude application the 'claude_desktop_config.json' file automatically gets created. So you'd just need to locate it and open it. Edit: Also in the top left is File < Settings < Developer < Configure which locates & opens .json file

I watched the whole video, but I am so far away from being a programmer LOL!!! I come from the creative and entrepreneurial side and I can see so much potential already on this. It doesn't seem difficult to set up BUT my concern is not knowing what I don't know. For example you mentioned that you don't want to give control to Claude to access to your computer, obviously not! But I am sure there are other potential dangers that can mess up many other things. Maybe if I followed the steps, I'd know how to build a car, but if I don't know how to drive to many things will go wrong LOL

[@ThisGuyShips]

This Claude update is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to 10x their productivity. Here's why you need to pay attention: 2:00 Single prompt = Full stack developer capabilities. Claude can now build entire websites, manage GitHub repos, and handle multiple dev tasks autonomously 🤯 14:54 Real talk: You can compress 8 hours of basic dev work into 2-3 hours by letting AI agents handle the repetitive tasks. Perfect for founders trying to move fast 16:45 Major insight: There will be two types of people - those who leverage AI agents and those who get left behind. The gap will be massive Honestly, this is probably the biggest opportunity since crypto in 2020 for builders who want to get ahead. The 30-min setup is worth it. Who else is building with AI agents?

Hi David - can agents be implemented if all the back end systems aren't "open"? For example I am imagining government or healthcare organizations with monolithic "closed" systems that have special read / write APIs if any. Perhaps a naive question but does implementing an agentic layer that orchestrates the actions across systems require a "TIBCO like messaging bus" to exist that makes the back end systems more open?

With a technical background you can get leverage AI agents to a whole new level. So if anyone want to get into Software engineering in 2025, go for it. I don't want to give to much away so will try summarise. Problem Created an app for a car dealership to run promotions, then the executives have to ring people who have access the promotional pages and try get them buy a car. Solution A.I. agents to cut out of the work of the executives, which worked fine. But then I was getting bottled necked as a lot of dealerships wanted the application. So created a dev agent that spin up the whole infrastructure for a new dealership i get. This contains executive agents to make calls and a designer agent who dish out new promotional landing pages back to the dev agent. Story short I ended up automating their workflow and mine. FYI: I am software engineer with 10 years of experience.
