SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Configuring Model Context Protocol servers in Claude Code requires remembering CLI syntax, transport types, and scope flags, which slows down setup and troubleshooting. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Server Management: List, add, get details on, and remove MCP servers using the claude mcp command family. - Scope Control: Configure servers at local, project, or user scope depending on whether settings should be private, shared via .mcp.json, or global. - Enable/Disable Toggles: Turn servers on or off through settings.json keys like enabledMcpjsonServers without deleting their configuration. - Use Case: A developer wants to connect Claude Code to a PostgreSQL database; the skill provides the exact stdio transport command with the dbhub package and DSN parameter. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to list your current MCP servers or add a new one such as the GitHub MCP server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?▼

Add an MCP server with the claude mcp add command, specifying the transport type. For HTTP servers use claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>, and for stdio servers use claude mcp add --transport stdio <name> -- <command>.

How do I list configured MCP servers in Claude Code?▼

Run claude mcp list in your terminal to see all configured servers. Inside a Claude Code session, use the /mcp command to check server status and connection health.

What is the difference between local, project, and user MCP scopes?▼

Local scope is private to you and the current project, project scope shares configuration via a version-controlled .mcp.json file, and user scope makes the server available across all your projects. Set the scope with the --scope flag when adding a server.

Can I disable an MCP server without removing it?▼

Yes, use the enabledMcpjsonServers and disabledMcpjsonServers arrays in ~/.claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.json to toggle servers on or off while keeping their configuration intact.

Why is my MCP server not connecting in Claude Code?▼

Check server status with the /mcp command inside Claude Code, which may also prompt re-authentication for permission errors. If configuration changes are not applying, restart Claude Code to reload the settings.
