Set up, connect, validate, and repair Claude Desktop and MCP servers using Desktop Commander — inspecting and fixing mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json, getting MCP servers to connect, and diagnosing local AI tooling. Use when a user wants to install, configure, connect, validate, or fix Claude Desktop, an MCP server, an MCP config file, or a local AI agent/gateway. Trigger on the symptoms that actually bring people in: "Claude can't see my tools", "my MCP server isn't showing up", "tools aren't loading in Claude", "add an MCP server", "my MCP isn't connecting", "fix my Claude Desktop config", "the agent won't respond", "wire up Ollama / LM Studio", "restart Claude Desktop". Also covers local agent gateways like OpenClaw and Hermes.
