Add Vara MCP — Field Intelligence Scan Server to Claude Desktop

"mcpServers": {
"vara-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",

]
}
}
}-

03
Ask for something vara_list_scans does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls vara_list_scans itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Vara MCP — Field Intelligence Scan Server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 October 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
