-The MCP configuration is written to `.mcp.json` in your project root and will be picked up by Claude Code on restart. First use will prompt for security approval.
+The installer runs `claude mcp add` commands directly, which registers the servers in your Claude Code config (`~/.claude.json`). Restart Claude Code after installation for MCP tools to be available.
