How should I configure the Claude Desktop MCP JSON to connect a local Qdrant instance?

📄 Issue Description

I’m trying to connect my local Qdrant instance (running in Docker) to Claude Desktop using the MCP (Model Context Protocol) system.

I understand that Claude Desktop requires adding a configuration block inside the MCP section of the claude_desktop_config.json file. However, it’s not clear to me what the exact JSON format should look like for defining an MCP server that interacts with Qdrant.

What I need clarification on

• What is the correct structure for the MCP provider entry in the Claude Desktop config file?
• How should the "command" and "args" fields be set for a custom MCP provider that wraps Qdrant’s API?
• Are there examples showing how to pass environment variables (e.g., QDRANT_URL) into the MCP config?
• Is there an official or recommended way to expose Qdrant as an MCP server so Claude Desktop can query it?

Context

• Qdrant is running locally in Docker (localhost:6333)
• I want Claude Desktop to connect to it via MCP before I start writing any RAG logic
• I am looking for a minimal example of a working mcpServers JSON block specifically for Qdrant
• Any guidance, examples, or references would be appreciated.
