Command-line tool for managing MCP servers in Claude Code. Supports user and project-level server installation and configuration.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @anthropic-ai/claude-code on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need 3 environment variables: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, BRAVE_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
