Run this in a terminal to add the server to Claude Code.
What this does
Oxidized MCP exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.
Requirements
This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:
OXIDIZED_URL OXIDIZED_USERNAME OXIDIZED_PASSWORD OXIDIZED_VERIFY_SSL OXIDIZED_TIMEOUT OXIDIZED_SEARCH_TIMEOUT OXIDIZED_REDACT_NODE_VARS READ_ONLY_MODE OXIDIZED_DISABLED_TAGS LOG_LEVEL RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MINUTES TOOL_SEARCH_ENABLED TOOL_SEARCH_STRATEGY TOOL_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS
Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).
