#### Configuring MCP Servers in Bob
173+
174+
MCP server configurations can be managed at two levels:
175+
176+
- **Project-level Configuration**: Create the file `.bob/mcp.json` within your project directory, and then **add the configuration** using the JSON format shown in the [Claude Desktop](#claude-desktop) section
177+
- **Global Configuration**: Stored in the `mcp_settings.json` file, accessible via VS Code settings. These settings apply across all your workspaces unless overridden by a project-level configuration.
