​
Roo Code

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "env": {
        "SHARC_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Generic MCP Configuration

For any MCP-compatible client, the configuration follows this pattern: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sharc-code/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "SHARC_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Using Node Instead of npx

If you’ve installed SHARC globally: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharc": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/node_modules/@sharc-code/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SHARC_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Common Issues

​
npx Not Found

If npx isn’t in your PATH, use the full path: 
{
  "command": "/usr/local/bin/npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@sharc-code/mcp@latest"]
}

​
Windows Path Issues

On Windows, use forward slashes or escaped backslashes: 
{
  "command": "C:/Program Files/nodejs/npx.cmd",
  "args": ["-y", "@sharc-code/mcp@latest"]
}

​
Environment Variables Not Loaded

Some clients require you to restart after changing MCP configuration. If environment variables aren’t being read:
  1. Close the application completely
  2. Reopen and test with get_watch_status tool
