Can I use secret API keys with MCP servers?

Yes, you can use environment variable expansion in your configuration files to reference sensitive keys without hardcoding them in the JSON.

What is the difference between project and user scopes?

Project scope saves configuration to a local '.mcp.json' file for version control, while user scope saves to your global home directory for use across all projects.

What are MCP Prompts?

MCP Prompts are pre-built conversation templates defined by the server that prime Claude with specific expert instructions and context for complex workflows.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that enables AI models like Claude to securely connect to external tools, data sources, and resources using a standardized interface.

How do I add a new MCP server to Claude Code?

You can add a server via the CLI using the command 'claude mcp add' along with the transport type, server name, and the execution command or URL.
