Configuring Claude Code with MCP servers

Configure the MCP server:

I have no idea why this was so complicated to figure out and to find info on.

https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/mcp

For personal use across all projects (recommended)

claude mcp add youtube-api --scope user \
  --env MY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
  -- uv --directory /path/to/mcp-server run server.py

Check it's working

claude mcp list

Scope Options I Learned About:

  • --scope local (default): Current project only
  • --scope user: All your projects (my recommendation)
  • --scope project: Team sharing via .mcp.json
