## Getting started

### Using reference servers

TypeScript-based servers can be used directly with `npx`:

```bash
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory
```

Python-based servers can be used with `uvx` (recommended) or `pip`:

```bash
# Using uvx
uvx mcp-server-git

# Using pip
pip install mcp-server-git
python -m mcp_server_git
```

### Configuring with Claude

To use an MCP server with Claude, add it to your configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/allowed/files"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
