Claude MCP Integrations: The Ultimate Server Configuration Guide (Part 2)
Extend Claude's capabilities with Model Context Protocol (MCP). Here are the terminal commands to connect Claude to GitHub, Notion, Supabase, Stripe, and 20+ more.
Welcome to Part 2 of the SEOGEO Claude Mastery Series. If you followed our Command & Shortcuts guide, you know how to operate Claude smoothly in the terminal. Now, it is time to give Claude superpowers.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows you to extend Claude Code with external tools. By adding MCP servers, you grant Claude the ability to automate browsers, read from live databases, manage Jira tickets, and push to GitHub repositories—turning an AI chatbot into a fully autonomous junior developer.
🔌 1. Core MCP Management Commands
Before installing specific integrations, you need to understand the core syntax for managing MCP servers within the Claude environment.
Add Local MCP Server (stdio):
claude mcp add <name> <command> [args...]Add Server-Sent Events (SSE) MCP Server:

Frequently Asked Questions
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows developers to extend Claude Code with external tools and integrations. MCP servers provide Claude with additional capabilities like browser automation, database access, and live API integrations.
To view all currently installed and active MCP servers in your Claude environment, simply run the command: claude mcp list
These are connection protocols. stdio is typically used for local script execution (like using npx to run a local server). HTTP and SSE (Server-Sent Events) are used to connect Claude to remote, cloud-hosted MCP servers managed by third-party platforms.
When adding an MCP server via stdio that requires authentication, you can pass API keys securely using the --env flag. For example: claude mcp add --transport stdio [app] --env API_KEY=YOUR_KEY
