Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http moltline-research-desk-mcp https://mcp.moltlinestudio.com/research

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add moltline-research-desk-mcp --url https://mcp.moltlinestudio.com/research
