Configure in Claude Code
Add to your .claude/settings.json (or ~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-link-doctor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-link-doctor"],
"env": {
"MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID": "proj_your_id_here"
}
}
}
}
Or if running locally from the built output:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-link-doctor": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-link-doctor/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID": "proj_your_id_here"
}
}
}
}
MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID is optional. Get your project ID from mcpcat.io. The server runs fine without it — analytics are simply disabled.
