Claude Code MCP Server Configuration Location

Global MCP servers must be defined in ~/.claude.json under the top-level mcpServers key.

~/.claude/.mcp.json is NOT read by Claude Code for global servers. Servers placed there will silently fail to register.

Correct locations:

  1. Global (always-on): ~/.claude.json → mcpServers key (cognitive-memory, gitea-mcp, n8n-mcp, tui-driver)
  2. Project (on-demand): <project-root>/.mcp.json → mcpServers key

How to add a global MCP server:

  • Edit ~/.claude.json and add to the mcpServers object, OR
  • Use claude mcp add <name> -- <command> [args]

Discovered 2026-03-01

tui-driver was configured in ~/.claude/.mcp.json and silently failed to load. Moving it to ~/.claude.json fixed registration.
