Claude Code

Claude Code registers MCP servers from the CLI - no config file editing.

1. Index a docs site

pinax add stripe

2. Register the server

claude mcp add pinax -- pinax serve

A single registration covers every manifest. To register one per docs site:

claude mcp add stripe-docs -- pinax serve stripe

claude mcp add writes to ~/.claude/.mcp.json (or the project-local .mcp.json if you pass --project).

3. Confirm it’s loaded

claude mcp list

Should print your new entry with its command and args.

4. Use it

Inside a Claude Code session:

/tools

You’ll see pinax__list_docs, pinax__search_pages, and the rest. Ask the agent to call them by name when you want it to consult the docs.

Per-project setup

If you want a project to ship with a specific Pinax server (so a teammate’s claude CLI auto-registers it):

cd my-project
pinax config claude --project

That writes .mcp.json in the current directory. Commit it.

Troubleshooting

• claude mcp add writes the entry as-typed; if pinax isn’t on Claude Code’s PATH, edit .mcp.json and replace pinax with the absolute path.
• claude mcp remove pinax undoes the registration cleanly.
