 ### Example: Claude for Desktop
 
-See [MCP Quickstart: For Claude Desktop Users](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user#for-claude-desktop-users)
-for a detailed guide on using Claude for Desktop with an MCP server. It is recommended
-to get the example server working first before using the Home Assistant MCP Server.
-
-Claude for Desktop currently only supports local MCP servers using the [stdio](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#standard-input-output-stdio)
-transport, run as a local command line tool. You can use a local MCP proxy server
-to allow Claude for Desktop to access Home Assistant using the SSE transport.
-
-1. Download [Claude for Desktop](https://claude.ai/download). 
-2. Install `mcp-proxy` following the instructions in the [README](https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy).
-   For example, `uv tool install git+https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy`.
-3. Open the configuration file. Visit **Settings…** and on the **Developer** tab, select **Edit Config**.
-   which will edit `claude_desktop_config.json`. The full file location depends on your
-   operating system (macOS or Windows).
-4. Add a new MCP server to the JSON file. You need to set the `SSE_URL` to the URL you use to
-   connect to Home Assistant with the path `/api/mcp`. You will also need to set `API_ACCESS_TOKEN`
-   to the long live access token created above in the [access control instructions](#access-control)
-    ```json
-    {
-      "mcpServers": {
-        "Home Assistant": {
-          "command": "mcp-proxy",
-          "args": [
-            "--transport=streamablehttp",
-            "--stateless",
-            "http://localhost:8123/api/mcp"
-          ],
-          "env": {
-            "API_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your_access_token_here>"
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-    ```
-5. Restart Claude.
-6. You will see a connection icon {% icon "mdi:connection" %} if things are set up correctly. Clicking the connection icon will show enabled MCP servers such as *Home Assistant*.
-7. Select the prompt provided by Home Assistant.
-8. You can then use Claude to control Home Assistant similar to how you control Home Assistant through the Voice Assistant. Claude wil ask you for permission before calling any tools.
