Setup

1Run this in your terminal — works on any project, the MCP server is added to user scope.
2Then in any Claude Code session: ask 'Submit our project — it's about <your idea>'.

claude mcp add --transport http claude-impact-lab https://impact-lab-la.vercel.app/mcp

1Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
2Add this entry, save, and restart Claude Desktop.
3Start a new chat and ask Claude to submit your team's project.
