## Install

### How to install Custody Calendar Maker in Claude Code

1. Add the server

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http custody-calendar-maker https://custody-calendar.ekelund-apps.workers.dev/mcp
```

2. Verify it's connected

```bash
claude mcp list
```

3. Sharing it with your team?

   Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).

4. Use it in a session

   Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. make_custody_schedule, compare_custody_schedules, add_holiday_rotation). It discovers them automatically.

### How to install Custody Calendar Maker in Claude Desktop

1. Open your MCP config

   macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this server

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "custody-calendar-maker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://custody-calendar.ekelund-apps.workers.dev/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Why the wrapper?

   This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.

4. Restart Claude Desktop

   The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

### How to install Custody Calendar Maker in Cursor

1. Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "custody-calendar-maker": {
      "url": "https://custody-calendar.ekelund-apps.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Enable it

   Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.

### How to install Custody Calendar Maker in Codex CLI

1. Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

```toml
[mcp_servers.custody-calendar-maker]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://custody-calendar.ekelund-apps.workers.dev/mcp"]
```

2. Why the wrapper?

   Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.

3. Run Codex

   Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

## Tools

- `make_custody_schedule` — Turn a custody or parenting-time rotation (week on/week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 5-2-2-5, 3-4-4-3, alternate weekends, 4-3, or a custom cycle) into a dated calendar: which parent has the kids each night, the exchange days, each parent's overnight count and percentage for the year, and the longest stretch apart. Returns a calendar file (.ics) and a subscribe link both parents can add to Google, Apple o
- `compare_custody_schedules` — Compare 2 to 6 custody rotations side by side from the same start date: overnights and percentage per parent, exchanges per month, and the longest time the kids spend away from each parent. Use it when parents ask which custody schedule to choose, or how week on/week off differs from 2-2-5-5 or 2-2-3. Not for work shift patterns. Facts only, not legal advice.
- `add_holiday_rotation` — Add a holiday rotation to a custody calendar made by make_custody_schedule: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, Easter, US long weekends, UK bank holidays, Canadian and Australian public holidays, and school breaks alternating by year or split in half. Holidays override the regular rotation on those nights. Returns the updated calendar, overnight counts and new .ics and subscribe links.
