Claude MCP + Dotenvx

Add Dotenvx to Claude as an MCP Server.

Dotenvx works with Claude MCP. Here’s how to get it in your Claude.

Step 1

Type claude mcp add.

$ claude mcp add
Add MCP Server

Choose a unique name for this server:

> dotenvx

Step 2

For Server Scope, choose User.

Server Scope

Choose where this server will be available:

  
  Project (shared via .mcp.json)
  Local (private to you in this project)
> User (available in all your projects)

Step 3

For Transport Type, choose Stdio.

Transport Type

Choose how Claude Code will connect to your MCP server:

> Stdio (command-line process)
  SSE (Server-Sent Events over HTTP)

Step 4

Enter npx @dotenvx/dotenvx as the server command.

Server Command

Enter the full command to start your MCP server.

> npx @dotenvx/dotenvx

Confirm that. That’s it!

Now you can ask Claude to encrypt my .env file and it will do it!

Hey Claude, encrypt my .env file please.

Bonus

Additionally, be sure to share llms.txt and llms-full.txt with Claude to make it smarter about all this.

Thanks for using Dotenvx.
