stdio transport adapter for Lighthouse MCP
Connect Lighthouse to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. stdio transport adapter for Lighthouse MCP. The lighthouse mcp server is what makes that connection.
The user-facing packages cover overlapping Lighthouse capabilities:
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Type — check all packages: pnpm typecheckPackage — Use it whenConfiguration is passed through the environment: LIGHTHOUSE_URL, LIGHTHOUSE_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Lighthouse's toolset — Type, Package — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
