gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_BASE_URL,YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_API_AUTH_TOKEN.

project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env DOCUMENT_ENGINE_BASE_URL=YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_BASE_URL --env DOCUMENT_ENGINE_API_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_API_AUTH_TOKEN --transport stdio nutrient-document-engine-mcp-server -- npx -y @nutrient-sdk/[email protected] - Replace
YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_BASE_URL,YOUR_DOCUMENT_ENGINE_API_AUTH_TOKENwith your own values. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of nutrient-document-engine-mcp-server.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
