Configure for Claude.code

Setting up Agile Team with Claude Code easily by importing it.

claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop

Note: "--directory" would be the path to the source code if not in the same directory.

# Copy this JSON configuration
{
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/danielscholl/agile-team-mcp-server@main", "agile-team"],
