MCP Servers
Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
What are MCP Servers?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers allow Claude to interact with external tools, APIs, and data sources. Install a server to give Claude access to your filesystem, databases, GitHub, and more. Configure them in your claude_desktop_config.json.
Configuration Example
Add servers to your ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
"/Users/username/Desktop"
]
},
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
}
}
}
}
