Enabling MCP

Both Atlassian and database MCP are intentionally off by default. mcp.example.json is a disabled, human-curated catalogue by design — pick an entry, fill in credentials by hand, and paste it into Claude Code’s real MCP config yourself. MCP is never auto-enabled.

How to enable any entry

  1. Open mcp.example.json and copy the entry you want into ~/.claude/.mcp.json (under an mcpServers object).
  2. Put secrets/connection strings in ~/.claude/mcp.local.json (gitignored) — never commit them.
  3. Restart Claude Code; check with /mcp.

Run claude plugin install figma@claude-plugins-official (or /addit-harness:setup --plugins, which installs it with the other declared plugins). Open any Figma file → authorise Claude Code in the plugin panel → OAuth completes → /mcp confirms the Figma server is connected.

Write-to-canvas is in beta and will become usage-based/paid — confirm your plan covers cost before running @addit-harness:figma-designer for large tasks. See mcp.example.json → figma_OFFICIAL for the manual MCP-only path and figma_COMMUNITY_ALTERNATIVE for the free-plan plugin-bridge option.

Atlassian Cloud

claude mcp add --transport http atlassian https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp

Official Rovo server, OAuth.

Atlassian Data Center

Community sooperset/mcp-atlassian (token/PAT).

Postgres

crystaldba/postgres-mcp (read-only by default).

MySQL

benborla/mcp-server-mysql or designcomputer/mysql_mcp_server.

Cloud / infra

Used by @addit-harness:cloud-architect / @addit-harness:devops-engineer: official servers for AWS (awslabs/mcp), Azure (@azure/mcp), DigitalOcean (digitalocean-labs/mcp-digitalocean), Terraform (hashicorp/terraform-mcp-server, via Docker), Kubernetes (kubernetes-mcp-server), Docker (docker mcp gateway, built into Docker Desktop’s MCP Toolkit), and Cloudflare (cloudflare/mcp — WAF, DDoS, Zero Trust, DNS, CDN; OAuth) — see mcp.example.json.

Google Cloud has no unified official MCP server yet; both agents fall back to the gcloud CLI directly.

  • Use cases — where MCP fits into a real workflow.
  • Subagents — the agents that prefer these servers when connected.
