   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "code-reasoning": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@mettamatt/code-reasoning"]
       }
     }
   }

2. Configure VS Code:
