Установка

Выберите клиент

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genealogy-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
        "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Откройте Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Перезапустите после сохранения.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genealogy-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
        "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor использует ту же схему mcpServers, что и Claude Desktop. Конфиг проекта приоритетнее глобального.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genealogy-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
        "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Щёлкните значок MCP Servers на боковой панели Cline, затем "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genealogy-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
        "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Тот же формат, что и Claude Desktop. Перезапустите Windsurf для применения.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "genealogy-research-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
        "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue использует массив объектов серверов, а не map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "genealogy-research-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research",
          "~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Добавьте в context_servers. Zed перезагружается автоматически.

claude mcp add genealogy-research-skill -- git clone https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research ~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research

Однострочная команда. Проверить: claude mcp list. Удалить: claude mcp remove.

Сценарии использования

Реальные сценарии: genealogy-research

Analyze a 19th-century parish record scan

👤 Family historians working through European parish books ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Когда использовать: You have a scan in Latin / Cyrillic / German script and can't parse it alone.

Предварительные требования

Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/sliday/genealogy-research ~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research
Obsidian vault (optional but recommended) — Create a vault; skill provides templates

Поток

Share the scan

Using the genealogy-research skill — here's a parish record from 1847 Galicia. Transcribe and interpret.✓ Скопировано

→ Line-by-line transcription with language notes, not guesswork
Record in the vault

Create an Obsidian note for this document using the Document template. Link to the People and Places.✓ Скопировано

→ New note with proper frontmatter and cross-links
Plan follow-ups

What are the GPS-recommended next searches to corroborate this record?✓ Скопировано

→ Specific databases + search parameters, not generic 'search ancestry.com'

Итог: A documented artifact with evidence level + a research plan.

Подводные камни

Claude transliterates Slavic names inconsistently across notes — Pick a convention (the skill offers standard ones) and tell it to stick with that convention

Сочетать с: filesystem

Document a negative search properly (a GPS requirement)

👤 Researchers past the beginner stage ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Когда использовать: You couldn't find a record and need to note it correctly so future-you remembers.

Поток

Record the search

genealogy-research — document a negative search: Łódź State Archive, 1898-1902 birth records, surname Kowalski. Couldn't find.✓ Скопировано

→ Structured negative-search note per GPS standards
Suggest alternatives

What other record types could fill this gap?✓ Скопировано

→ Specific alternatives (civil vs church, neighboring parishes, censuses)

Итог: A proper negative-search record that makes your evidence base actually GPS-compliant.

Комбинации

Сочетайте с другими MCP — эффект x10

genealogy-research-skill + filesystem

Save and cross-link notes directly into your Obsidian vault

Create the People note for Anna Kowalski and save to ~/genealogy/People/.✓ Скопировано

genealogy-research-skill + planning-with-files

Multi-year research projects — keep findings.md and progress.md across sessions

Use planning-with-files to track the Galicia line research across months.✓ Скопировано

Инструменты

Что предоставляет этот MCP

Инструмент	Входные данные	Когда вызывать
transcribe_document	scan + language hint	New historical document lands in your vault
plan_search	research question + known facts	Before starting a new line of research
record_negative_search	what you looked for + where + when	Every failed search worth remembering
obsidian_template_apply	person / place / document + details	Adding an entity to your vault

Стоимость и лимиты

Во что обходится

Квота API: None from the skill
Токенов на вызов: Transcription of scans can be large
Деньги: Free — skills are local files. External databases may have their own fees.
Совет: Feed Claude one scan at a time; batch transcription gets muddled across records.

Безопасность

Права, секреты, радиус поражения

Хранение учётных данных: No credentials — pure prompts

Исходящий трафик: None from the skill. Your scans and notes stay local.

Living-person data is sensitive — don't upload scans of people still alive without consent.

Устранение неполадок

Частые ошибки и исправления

Skill not invoked — Claude guesses names without GPS framing

Say 'use genealogy-research skill' explicitly.

Проверить: ls ~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research/SKILL.md

SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

Re-clone; description drives activation.

Проверить: head ~/.claude/skills/genealogy-research/SKILL.md

Wrong trigger keywords — no template applied to Obsidian note

Ask for 'the Document template' or 'the People template' by name.

Альтернативы

genealogy-research в сравнении

Альтернатива	Когда использовать	Компромисс
FamilySearch / Ancestry tools	You want commercial database access with auto-matching	Paid; less flexible; no Obsidian integration
Vanilla Claude	One-off transcription with no method framing	No GPS discipline; inconsistent naming across sessions
