### Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop

Config file location:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

File content (replace with your uvx path):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "black-litterman": {
      "command": "/Users/USERNAME/.local/bin/uvx",
      "args": ["black-litterman-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

**Cmd+Q** (macOS) or fully quit and restart

### Step 4: Use
