#### Installing Shrimp Task Manager

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager.git
cd mcp-shrimp-task-manager
Install dependencies
npm install
Build the project
npm run build

Configure Claude Code

Create a .mcp.json file in your project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shrimp-task-manager": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DATA_DIR": "/path/to/your/shrimp_data",
        "TEMPLATES_USE": "en",
        "ENABLE_GUI": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shrimp-task-manager": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/home/fire/claude/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DATA_DIR": "/home/fire/claude/project/shrimp_data",
        "TEMPLATES_USE": "en",
        "ENABLE_GUI": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then start Claude Code with your custom MCP configuration:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --mcp-config .mcp.json
