Agent prompt for Claude Code or Codex

Add the Astro Docs MCP server to my MCP client configuration and verify that it works.

What it is: Searches the official Astro framework documentation so assistants can answer with current Astro APIs and guides. No authentication is required.
Server URL: https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (remote MCP server, no local install).
Authentication: none. The server accepts connections without credentials.
Tools (1, as last observed by mcptest): search_astro_docs.
Reference: https://mcptest.io/servers/astro-docs/

Steps:
1. Work out which MCP client I use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or another) and add the server under the name "astro-docs" in that client's MCP configuration, user scope unless I ask otherwise.
   Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user 'astro-docs' 'https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp'
   Codex: codex mcp add 'astro-docs' --url 'https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp'
   Other clients: use the setup for that client on the reference page.
2. Never write a credential value into a file that could be committed; reference an environment variable or the client's secret store, and ask me for any value you need.
3. Verify: connect to the server and call tools/list. Confirm the tools above are listed, and report any sign-in step I still have to complete.

Claude Code setup

Run in a terminal. This user-scoped entry is available across projects.

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user 'astro-docs' 'https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp'

Codex CLI setup

Run in a terminal; Codex stores the entry in ~/.codex/config.toml.

codex mcp add 'astro-docs' --url 'https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp'

Cursor setup

Add to .cursor/mcp.json for this project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects.

  "mcpServers": {
    "astro-docs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code setup

Add to .vscode/mcp.json, or run “MCP: Open User Configuration” for a private user-level entry.

{
  "servers": {
    "astro-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.docs.astro.build/mcp"
    }
