Claude Code (CLI)
The fastest way — run this command in your terminal:
Or add it manually to .mcp.json in the project root (or ~/.claude/mcp.json for global scope):
Claude Desktop
Edit the config file for your platform:
| Platform | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json |
| Linux | ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in the project root (project scope) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
VS Code (Copilot)
Add to .vscode/mcp.json in the project root:
Gemini CLI
Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
Alternative: global install
Then use "command": "codebeamer-mcp" (no args) instead of npx in any config above.
