4. Register mitre mcp: claude mcp add --scope user mitre-attack -- uv run --directory /Users/john/git-projects/mitre-attack-mcp mitre-attack-mcp

5. Check mitre-attack mcp: claude mcp list

6. Check detail: claude mcp get mitre-attack

Integration with Anthropic Claude Desktop

1. Claude desktop -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit config

2. Add below configs if you using git repository code:

  "mcpServers": {
