+### Claude Code setup
+
+**Recommended:** Use the CLI command (registers in `~/.claude.json` under project scope):
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add vfs -- vfs mcp
+```
+
+This is the most reliable method. Claude Code reads MCP configs from its own settings file (`~/.claude.json`), not from `.mcp.json`. Using `claude mcp add` ensures the server is registered in the right place.
+
+**Alternative:** Add a `.mcp.json` file at the project root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "vfs": {
+      "command": "vfs",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> **Note:** Claude Code uses stdio transport for local MCP servers. Do NOT use `"type": "sse"` or `"type": "http"` — those are for HTTP-based tools like Cursor. If `.mcp.json` is not being picked up, use `claude mcp add` instead.
+
+### Other tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, etc.)

 The stdio config (works for most tools):
