FAQ from Jupyter MCP Server for Claude Desktop

What dependencies are required to run the server?

You need JupyterLab 4.4.1, jupyter-collaboration 4.0.2, ipykernel, and datalayer_pycrdt 0.12.15. The server itself runs in Docker.

How do I configure the server for Linux vs macOS/Windows?

On Linux use --network=host and http://localhost:8888; on macOS/Windows use http://host.docker.internal:8888. The TOKEN must match your JupyterLab setup.

Can I install the server without Docker?

The README only describes Docker usage and Smithery installation via npx. No native install is documented.

What tools does the server expose?

Two tools: add_execute_code_cell (takes cell_content string, returns cell output) and add_markdown_cell (takes cell_content string, returns success message).

Where does the notebook file live?

The NOTEBOOK_PATH environment variable defines the notebook file name (e.g., notebook.ipynb), relative to the directory where JupyterLab is started.
