Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js (for npx-based stdio usage)** — Install Node.js so you can run the MCP server via npx, which is the simplest portable manual configuration shown in the README. (https://nodejs.org/)

Optional prerequisites:
- Alternative: install Python — If you prefer the Python path, install Python and pip, then install the calcfi-mcp package from PyPI. Run: `pip install calcfi-mcp` (https://pypi.org/project/calcfi-mcp/)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","calcfi-mcp"]

Note: The README documents both local stdio and hosted remote HTTP usage. The preferred manual config path is stdio via npx. Alternative stdio config: command `python`, args `['-m', 'calcfi_mcp']`. Hosted HTTP endpoint for clients that cannot run local processes: `https://mcp.calcfi.app`.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
