SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can be confusing, especially when different servers require different transports and credentials, so users need a reliable way to set them up and verify they’re active.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive MCP server selection: Prompts users to choose from common MCP servers or define a custom server.
  • Credential and access configuration: Collects required inputs such as Exa API keys, GitHub tokens, and filesystem directory access.
  • Automated installation via CLI: Uses the claude mcp add workflow for consistent updates to the user’s Claude Code configuration and merges settings automatically.
  • Verification and next steps: Guides users to confirm installation using claude mcp list and restart Claude Code when needed.

Quick Start

Configure MCP servers by running the MCP setup flow for your desired options, such as Exa for web search and GitHub for repository operations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure MCP servers for Claude Code to enable web search and filesystem access?▼

To configure MCP servers, run an interactive setup flow that prompts you to select a server type, collects credentials like Exa API keys or GitHub tokens, and executes the `claude mcp add` CLI command to update your Claude Code configuration automatically.

What is the Model Context Protocol and when do I need to set it up?▼

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers allow Claude Code agents to access external tools such as web search, filesystem directories, and GitHub APIs. You need to set them up during onboarding when your agent requires enhanced capabilities for research, repository management, or file-based workflows.

Can I use a custom MCP server instead of the common predefined options?▼

Yes, the MCP setup flow prompts you to choose from common MCP servers or define a custom server. After selecting custom, you provide the specific server details and required credentials, and the tool merges those settings into your Claude Code configuration.

How do I verify that an MCP server installation was successful in Claude Code?▼

You can verify a successful MCP server installation by running the `claude mcp list` command. The setup flow guides you through this verification step and advises restarting Claude Code if needed to ensure the new server configurations are active.

What credentials do I need to add an MCP server for GitHub integration and web search?▼

For GitHub integration you need a GitHub token, and for web search you need an Exa API key. The setup flow also collects filesystem directory access permissions if you enable filesystem tools, ensuring your Claude Code agent has the required access.

Why does my MCP server configuration not show up after running the setup?▼

If your MCP server configuration does not appear, you may need to restart Claude Code for the merged settings to take effect. The setup process uses the `claude mcp add` CLI to update configuration and verifies the result using `claude mcp list`.
