The JSON snippet pointing to ~/.claude/settings.json was incorrect — mcpServers is not a valid field there and Claude Code rejects it with a validation error. MCP servers are stored in ~/.claude.json and configured via the claude mcp add CLI command. Unify all three platform sections into a single cross-platform CLI command, consistent with the official Claude Code MCP documentation: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp Fixes denolehov#69
