Claude Code Clarifies MCP Server Scopes

ANNOUNCEMENTPRODUCT

Anthropic’s guide explains how Claude Code stores MCP servers across local, user, and project scopes, including how `.mcp.json` enables team sharing. Project-scoped servers require approval before they can run, protecting developers from untrusted repository configuration. [Official documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp-quickstart)

// ANALYSIS

The guide turns MCP configuration from hidden plumbing into an explicit security and collaboration decision.

  • –Local scope keeps a server private to one project; user scope enables it across all projects.
  • –Project scope makes `.mcp.json` configuration-as-code, but every teammate must approve its servers.
  • –The approval gate matters because MCP servers can launch local processes or access external services.
  • –Developers should avoid committing credentials and should audit each server’s tools before approval.
  • –Connected servers consume context, so unused integrations should be removed.
