{
  "mcpServers": {
    "triphelm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://triphelm.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Drop this into .mcp.json in your project root, then run /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate. Or skip the file entirely: run `claude mcp add --transport http triphelm https://triphelm.com/mcp` from any project.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "triphelm": {
      "httpUrl": "https://triphelm.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save, then run gemini and TripHelm’s tools show up under /mcp. Use httpUrl (not url) for Streamable HTTP transport. The consumer Gemini app (gemini.google.com) doesn’t support custom MCP yet.
