What it does and how to use it

A connector (MCP) that links Claude to an external general tool or service, giving it access to real data and actions.

  1. Install the connector (command above).
  2. Add the service credentials/keys when asked.
  3. Claude can now read and act on that service directly.

Install (Claude Code)

mkdir -p .claude/mcps && curl -fsSL https://doutorai.pt/data/lib/mcps__neolab-context-engineering-kit__setup-serena-mcp.md -o .claude/mcps/neolab-context-engineering-kit__setup-serena-mcp.md

Ask the user where they want to store the configuration:

**Options:**

1. **Project level (shared via git)** - Configuration tracked in version control, shared with team
   - CLAUDE.md updates go to: `./CLAUDE.md`

2. **Project level (personal preferences)** - Configuration stays local
