Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoeffe": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["cargoeffe-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CARGOEFFE_API_URL": "https://cargoeffe.com",
        "CARGOEFFE_MCP_TOKEN": "cfm_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoeffe": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "cargoeffe_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "CARGOEFFE_API_URL": "https://cargoeffe.com",
        "CARGOEFFE_MCP_TOKEN": "cfm_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

    }
  }
}

Debug Mode

Set CARGOEFFE_MCP_DEBUG=true for verbose logging:
