Claude Code + Homedata MCP — frequently asked questions

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Claude Code reads MCP servers from a JSON config under ~/.config/claude-code/ (or a project-level .mcp.json). Add the homedata entry, paste your API key into HOMEDATA_API_KEY, save, and restart the CLI. Type /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm the server is connected.
Do I need Python installed for the MCP to work in Claude Code?
Yes — homedata-mcp is a Python package. Any recent Python 3 install with pip will do. After pip install homedata-mcp, the homedata-mcp command becomes available on your PATH and Claude Code can launch it.
Can I scope the MCP to a single project?
Yes. Drop an .mcp.json into your project root with the homedata server config. Claude Code will use that server only when run inside that project, which is useful if you want a different API key per repo.
