Tool Design & MCP Integration · Select TWO
A team is standardizing Claude Code MCP setup. They need Jira for everyone, and one engineer wants to try an experimental diagramming server. Which two choices are best? Select two.
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A and D — Configure a community Jira MCP server in the project's .mcp.json, with the token as ${JIRA_TOKEN} / Configure the experimental diagramming server in that engineer's ~/.claude.json
Shared tooling belongs in project-scoped .mcp.json with secrets referenced through environment variable expansion, and a standard integration like Jira is better served by an existing community server (a). Personal or experimental servers belong in user-scoped ~/.claude.json (d). A custom Jira server (b) spends effort on a solved problem. Adding the experiment to .mcp.json (c) pushes an untested server on the whole team.
