| 69 | Create a `.mcp.json` file in your project directory: |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ```json |
| 72 | { |
| 73 | "mcpServers": { |
| 74 | "shrimp-task-manager": { |
| 75 | "command": "node", |
| 76 | "args": ["/path/to/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"], |
| 77 | "env": { |
| 78 | "DATA_DIR": "/path/to/your/shrimp_data", |
| 79 | "TEMPLATES_USE": "en", |
| 80 | "ENABLE_GUI": "false" |
| 81 | } |
| 82 | } |
| 83 | } |
| 84 | } |
| 85 | ``` |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Example configuration: |
| 88 | ```json |
