      • MCP config research: session-specific vs persistent setup

        • Goal: run some terminal sessions with Atlassian/MCP enabled and some without it, while reusing auth where possible.

        • What Claude Code supports right now

          • Session-only MCP profile loading:
            • claude --mcp-config <file-or-json> --strict-mcp-config
            • --strict-mcp-config means only servers from --mcp-config are loaded for that run.
          • Persistent MCP registration with scope:
            • claude mcp add -s local ... (current project, local machine)
            • claude mcp add -s project ... (shared in project .mcp.json)
            • claude mcp add -s user ... (all projects for this user)
          • Config file locations by scope (per docs):
            • local: .claude.json
            • project: .mcp.json
            • user: ~/.claude.json

        • Repo-specific pattern that scales to many repos + many servers

          • Keep per-profile JSON files (examples):
            • ~/.claude/mcp/profiles/base.json
            • ~/.claude/mcp/profiles/atlassian.json
            • ~/.claude/mcp/profiles/github-and-atlassian.json
          • Start Claude with the profile you want for that session:
            • bash

              claude --mcp-config ~/.claude/mcp/profiles/atlassian.json --strict-mcp-config

          • Keep repo defaults in .mcp.json only for truly always-on project servers; use profile files + --strict-mcp-config for optional servers.

        • Shared auth across terminal sessions

          • For remote servers bridged with mcp-remote, auth can be reused across sessions and across clients if config is identical.
          • mcp-remote stores tokens under ~/.mcp-auth (or $MCP_REMOTE_CONFIG_DIR).
          • Token cache keys are derived from URL + --resource + headers, so even small differences create separate auth entries.
          • Practical implication:
            • Use exactly the same mcp-remote args in all profiles/clients if you want one shared Atlassian login.

        • Current Atlassian endpoint + example

          • Atlassian docs now show the MCP endpoint as https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp with mcp-remote.
          • json

            {
              "mcpServers": {
                "atlassian": {
                  "command": "npx",
                  "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/mcp"]
                }

      • updated to Anthropic/App/Claude Code/v/1/0/2. Had a few issues with #AWS/Bedrock authentication but eventually (after enough restarting), managed to get it to work without changing anything.

      • Claude Code Memory

        • I asked it to just look at the saved to a text file that I copied and pasted from my last session in the terminal. there must be a better way ...

          • it actually worked pretty well to have it go over the previous text file "manually"
          • looked at Claude/Code/--continue and Claude/Code/--resume in --help - this is actually fairly intuitive, in theory.

            •   -c, --continue                  Continue the most recent conversation
                -r, --resume [sessionId]        Resume a conversation - provide a session ID or interactively select a conversation to resume

            • try out claude --resume
              • ok --resume actually brings up a way to resume various sessions... cool Still don't see any Claude/Code/SessionID

              • Awesome, this actually works REALLY well - it's a LOT more intuitive than Claude/Code/Docs/CLI/usage let on; their example of --resume is claude -r "abc123" "Finish this PR" which assumes that you know what abc123 is, and also, doesn't even mention that there is an interactive way to select the session.

          • To use a different editor, set the $EDITOR or $VISUAL environment variable.
            • #Learned that EnvVar/VISUAL $VISUAL was a thing
          • try asking claude to update its own memories
            • This actually worked fairly well. I asked it to update a specific directory's CLAUDE.md and it did. I wish I had a better mental model for how this relates to "compacting."

      • #CLI UX

        • I love how Claude/Code able to link me to the test files in cursor from the CLI with my mouse! #Delight
        • I see "✓ Update installed · Restart to apply" and when I restarted via claude --resume, I was given the option to resume my last session. Nice!
        • Really enjoying the way I was given the ability to auto accept all poetry run ... commands in a particular directory. Greatly speeds up the progress.

      • I saw in Anthropic/App/Claude Code/Docs/Costs/Background token usage Manage costs effectively - Anthropic that there is a claude --resume flag. Was looking for that on Friday

      • Started using Claude Code. Very impressive first day.
      • Main problem was that my AWS/IAM/Role AWS/SSM session timed out in the middle of the session, and I couldn't figure out how to get Claude/Code/Memory to work before EOD, so I just copied and pasted my terminal into a text file.
