Claude Code — install the CLI, then register the server:
```
uv tool install biomcp-cli
claude mcp add --transport stdio biomcp -- biomcp run
```
(If you prefer not to install the CLI globally, swap the second command for claude mcp add --transport stdio biomcp -- uv run --with biomcp-python biomcp run.)
Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biomcp": { "command": "biomcp", "args": ["run"] }
  }
}
```
Or, to avoid a global install, use { "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "--with", "biomcp-python", "biomcp", "run"] }.
