+## Running Your Server
+
+### Development Mode
+
+To run your server in development mode, you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+This will start your server with hot-reloading enabled, so any changes you make to your code will automatically restart the server.
+
+### Claude Desktop Integration
+
+To integrate your server with Claude Desktop, follow these steps:
+
+1. Install Claude Desktop from the official website.
+2. Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your MCP server by specifying the server's address and port.
+3. Start your MCP server and ensure it is running.
+4. Launch Claude Desktop and verify the connection to your MCP server.
+
+### Direct Execution
+
+To run your server directly, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+node dist/index.js
+```
+
+This will start your server using the compiled JavaScript files in the `dist` directory.
+
+### Running with MCP Inspector
+
+To run your server with the MCP Inspector, follow these steps:
+
+1. Install the MCP Inspector globally using npm:
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+   ```
+
+2. Start your MCP server:
+   ```bash
+   npm run start
+   ```
+
+3. In a separate terminal, start the MCP Inspector and connect it to your running server:
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npm run -s start
+   ```
+
+This will start the MCP Inspector and connect it to your running server, allowing you to inspect and interact with your server's resources, tools, and prompts.
