Claude Code

Quick Install

Run this command in your terminal to add the MCP server:

terminal
claude mcp add --transport http yavy https://yavy.dev/mcp/your-org/your-project
or configure manually
.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yavy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://yavy.dev/mcp/your-org/your-project"
    }
  }
}

Manual Setup Steps

  1. 1
    Create or open the .mcp.json file in your project directory
  2. 2
    Copy the configuration above and paste it into your .mcp.json file
  3. 3
    Run /mcp in Claude Code to verify the server is connected

Tip

The .mcp.json file in your project directory makes the MCP server available to your team. Public sources work instantly; private sources prompt for OAuth 2.1 login.
