Fastest method is using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/?ref=new-blog.dougals.me) and `claude mcp add`:

```bash
uv tool install linux-mcp-server
claude mcp add linux-mcp --scope user --transport stdio -- linux-mcp-server
```

- `linux-mcp` is the server name used in Claude Code.
- `--scope user` makes the server available globally for your user account.
- `--transport stdio` Specifies that it's a local standard input/output server.
- `--` separates Claude CLI flags from the command to run.
- `linux-mcp-server` starts the server process.

Claude is capable of starting the server on demand, check that it's enabled with `/mcp`:
