Installation

Install MCP servers from the Agronod plugins marketplace or manually via CLI commands.

Official Documentation: Claude Code MCP

Security First

Local MCP servers run with full access to your filesystem and can execute commands. Review the Safety Guidelines before installing any MCP server.

Quick Start: Agronod Plugins Marketplace

The easiest way to get started is through the Agronod plugins marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add agronod/claude-plugins

Then install individual plugins:

/plugin install dev@agronod-plugins
/plugin install git@agronod-plugins
/plugin install steering@agronod-plugins

Browse available plugins with /plugin and see the Servers Guide for details.

Manual CLI Installation

For servers outside the Agronod marketplace, use the claude mcp add command.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js 18+ - For npm/npx servers (Download)
• UV Package Manager - For Python servers (Installation)

Syntax:

# Local stdio servers
claude mcp add <name> <command> [args...]

# Remote SSE servers
claude mcp add --transport sse <name> <url>

Flags:

• --transport - Server type (sse for remote, omit for local stdio)
• --env - Set environment variables
• --header - Add HTTP headers (for SSE servers)

Manual Install Examples

# Install Git server locally
claude mcp add git uvx mcp-server-git

# Install Memory server
claude mcp add memory npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory

# Install remote SSE server
claude mcp add --transport sse atlassian https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse

# Set environment variables
claude mcp add --env API_KEY=secret myserver node server.js

Configuration Scope

MCP servers are scoped via JSON configuration files:

• .mcp.json (project root) - Project-specific, checked into version control
• ~/.claude/mcp.json (home directory) - User-level, applies to all projects

JSON Configuration

Edit configuration files directly for advanced setups:

Example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-git"]
    },
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
    }
  }
}
