Q&A

Is there a learning curve for using this MCP server?

The server is a simple TypeScript application that exposes a single tool, search_articles; it requires only basic knowledge of environment variables and running npm scripts, so the learning curve is minimal for developers familiar with Node.js.

Can I install the server on a non‑Mac machine?

Yes. For Windows add the server config to APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json, for MacOS use ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, or install via Smithery with npx y @smithery/cli install nyt client claude.
