📋 Quick

📋 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Claude Desktop installed
• Anthropic API key with billing enabled

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/claude-swarm-mcp.git
cd claude-swarm-mcp

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure Claude Desktop

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-swarm": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/claude-swarm-mcp/claude_swarm_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Start the server

python3 claude_swarm_mcp_server.py

5. Restart Claude Desktop and test with:

Create finance team with company name "Your Company"

🎯 Usage Examples

Create a Financial Analysis Team

Create finance team with company name "TechVest Capital"

This creates 4 specialized agents:

• Risk Analyst - VaR calculations, stress testing
• Portfolio Manager - Asset allocation, optimization
• Data Analyst - Market data, performance metrics
• Research Analyst - Investment research, market analysis

Chat with Specialists

Chat with agent: "Calculate the VaR for a portfolio with AAPL 30%, GOOGL 25%, MSFT 20%, AMZN 15%, TSLA 10%" using agent "Risk Analyst"

Create Custom Agents

Create agent with name "Options Specialist" and instructions "You are an expert in options trading. Calculate Greeks, analyze volatility, and recommend hedging strategies."

List All Agents

List agents

Portfolio Analysis Workflow

Chat with agent: "I need a complete analysis of my tech portfolio: analyze risk, optimize allocation, and provide investment recommendations."

Agents will coordinate automatically to provide comprehensive analysis
