Pillbox

Claude Code

pillbox mcp install configures Claude Code automatically — it writes the pillbox entry to ~/.claude.json, creating the file if needed and preserving any existing entries.

Terminal window
pillbox mcp install

Restart Claude Code after installing. Run /mcp to verify the server is connected — you should see pillbox (connected) with the full list of tools. See the MCP tools reference for what each tool does.

Manual configuration

Section titled “Manual configuration”

If you prefer to configure manually, add the following to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pillbox": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/home/you/.pillbox/mcp/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Use the absolute path to index.js — ~ expansion is not guaranteed in all MCP clients.

Uninstalling

Section titled “Uninstalling”
Terminal window
pillbox mcp uninstall

Removes the MCP server directory and its entry from ~/.claude.json.
