Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `mcp-synology` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install uv** — uvx is needed to download and run mcp-synology (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
- **Run setup wizard** — Interactive setup that writes config and stores keyring credentials Run: `uvx mcp-synology setup`

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `uvx`
- args: ["mcp-synology","serve"]
- required environment variables:
  - `SYNOLOGY_HOST`: Synology NAS hostname or IP (example: `192.168.1.100`)
  - `SYNOLOGY_USERNAME`: DSM username (example: `<your-username>`)
  - `SYNOLOGY_PASSWORD`: DSM password (example: `<your-password>`)

Note: Env-var-only mode is shown. Alternatively, after 'uvx mcp-synology setup' a config file can be used with --config <path>.

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.
