What is a MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers extend Claude's capabilities with external tools and data sources. They provide access to databases, APIs, file systems, and more. Configure MCP servers in .mcp.json or add them via `claude mcp add` command.
Setup Instructions
Option 1 - CLI Command: claude mcp add memory -- npx -y @anthropic-ai/mcp-server-memory Option 2 - Add to .mcp.json The memory server creates a local knowledge graph that persists between sessions. Claude can store entities, relationships, and observations for later retrieval.
