gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_ARCHERY_BASE_URL,YOUR_ARCHERY_USERNAME,YOUR_ARCHERY_PASSWORD,YOUR_ARCHERY_INSTANCE_NAME,YOUR_ARCHERY_DB_NAME.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that
project; put

claude mcp add --env ARCHERY_BASE_URL=YOUR_ARCHERY_BASE_URL --env ARCHERY_USERNAME=YOUR_ARCHERY_USERNAME --env ARCHERY_PASSWORD=YOUR_ARCHERY_PASSWORD --env ARCHERY_INSTANCE_NAME=YOUR_ARCHERY_INSTANCE_NAME --env ARCHERY_DB_NAME=YOUR_ARCHERY_DB_NAME --transport stdio archery-mcp -- uvx archery-mcp==0.1.1 - Replace
YOUR_ARCHERY_BASE_URL,YOUR_ARCHERY_USERNAME,YOUR_ARCHERY_PASSWORD,YOUR_ARCHERY_INSTANCE_NAME,YOUR_ARCHERY_DB_NAMEwith 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 archery-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
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
