MCP guides
Add, build, and operate MCP servers with Claude Code.
- Add MCP servers to Claude Code, the right wayclaude mcp add for stdio and HTTP transports, scopes, listing and removing servers, and why keeping MCPs off by default is the discipline that scales.
- HTTP MCP servers with bearer tokensConnect Claude Code to a remote MCP server over HTTP with an Authorization header, and handle tokens like credentials: hashed at rest, revocable, never logged.
- Inside the promenow-tools MCP serverA real walkthrough of the MCP handshake — initialize, tools/list, tools/call — with actual JSON-RPC transcripts, and the file-manifest model that keeps installs local-safe.
- Build your first MCP server in plain NodeA minimal HTTP JSON-RPC MCP server — initialize, tools/list, and a working echo tool — in one dependency-free Node file you can test with curl and register with Claude Code.
