Quick Start

Claude Code (CLI)

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add stacksfinder npx -y @stacksfinder/mcp-server

# With API key for full features
claude mcp add-json stacksfinder '{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
  "env": {"STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx"}
}'

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stacksfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
