Claude

Two clients are covered here. Claude Desktop's file paths and filesystem example come from the MCP local-server guide. Claude Code's commands come from the Claude Code MCP docs. The Figma and Chrome DevTools blocks further down use the URL or package on those registry entries. They are not copied from the client docs.

From the Claude docs

Claude Desktop's config file locations, as published in the Connect to local MCP servers guide: macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json. The same guide's filesystem example is below. The paths are the guide's placeholders. This is not a server from our directory.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/username/Desktop",
        "/Users/username/Downloads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code's remote and local commands, from the Claude Code MCP docs:

claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
claude mcp add --env AIRTABLE_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY --transport stdio airtable -- npx -y airtable-mcp-server

That page says a JSON entry with a url and no type is a configuration error, because Claude Code treats a missing type as stdio. Project config lives in .mcp.json under mcpServers. The Notion URL and the Airtable package in those two commands are Anthropic's examples, not registry entries we rechecked for this page.

Figma, remote

From the Figma registry remote. Full notes on the Figma fact sheet.
