Claude Desktop Setup

Install FootballGPT, RefereeGPT, and CoachReflect as MCP tools in Claude Desktop. Takes about 2 minutes. After setup, you can ask Claude to plan sessions, look up laws, log reflections, and animate drills directly in conversation.

You need Claude Desktop installed (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
Free tier: 10 tool calls per day. Upgrade to a product subscription for more.

Click the gear icon in the top-right of Claude Desktop, then go to the MCP Servers section. Click Edit Config to open your config file.

Troubleshooting

Tools not appearing after restart

Make sure you saved the config file before restarting
Check the JSON is valid (no trailing commas, matching braces)
If you already have an existing config, merge the mcpServers entries rather than replacing the whole file

Tool calls failing or timing out

Check your internet connection
The free tier has 10 calls/day. If you're hitting the limit, upgrade to a product subscription
If a specific tool keeps failing, try the others. One product may be undergoing maintenance

Config file location

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
