ifc-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonmacOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonName — ifc-mcpCommand — npxArguments — -y ifc-mcpAmong the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. IFC MCP's toolset — Windows, macOS, Name and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by flinker-app; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
