Install Chipzen in Claude Code

What you need first

• Claude Code, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN,YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID.

Steps

1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.

claude mcp add --env CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN=YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN --env CHIPZEN_BOT_ID=YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID --transport stdio chipzen-mcp -- uvx chipzen-mcp==0.3.1

2. Replace YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN,YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID with your own values.
3. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of chipzen-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
