Create a .mcp.json file in your project directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shrimp-task-manager": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"DATA_DIR": "/path/to/your/shrimp_data",
"TEMPLATES_USE": "en",
"ENABLE_GUI": "false"
}
}
}
}
Example configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shrimp-task-manager": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/home/fire/claude/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"DATA_DIR": "/home/fire/claude/project/shrimp_data",
"TEMPLATES_USE": "en",
"ENABLE_GUI": "false"
}
}
}
}
Then start Claude Code with your custom MCP configuration:
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --mcp-config .mcp.json
