# ohm-mcp (npm package)
**NPX wrapper for the OHM MCP Python refactoring server**
This package provides a convenient way to run the OHM MCP (Model Context Protocol) server using `npx`. The server offers comprehensive Python code refactoring capabilities including AST-based analysis, automated refactoring, performance optimization, and more.
## Installation
### Option 1: Published Package (when available on npm)
```bash
# Install globally (optional)
npm install -g ohm-mcp
# Or use directly with npx (recommended)
npx ohm-mcp@latest
```
### Option 2: Local Development
If you're developing locally or the package isn't published yet:
```bash
# Use the local package directory
npx --package /path/to/ohm-mcp-npm ohm-mcp
# Example with absolute path
npx --package /Users/username/projects/ohm-mcp-npm ohm-mcp
```
## Usage
### With Cline (VS Code Extension)
Add to your Cline MCP settings:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ohm-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ohm-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
```
### With Cursor IDE
Add to your MCP configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ohm-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ohm-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
```
### Direct Command Line Usage
```bash
# Run the MCP server directly
npx ohm-mcp@latest
# Or if installed globally
ohm-mcp
```
## What It Does
This package automatically:
1. **Finds Python**: Locates a Python 3.8+ interpreter on your system
2. **Installs Dependencies**: Downloads and installs the OHM MCP Python package if needed
3. **Launches Server**: Starts the MCP server with stdio communication
## Requirements
- **Node.js**: 18+ (for npx)
- **Python**: 3.8+ (auto-detected)
- **Internet Connection**: Required for initial package download
## Troubleshooting
### "Python interpreter not found"
- Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed and in your PATH
- Try: `python --version` or `python3 --version`
### "Failed to install OHM MCP Python package"
- Ensure pip is available: `python -m pip --version`
- Check internet connection
- Try manual installation: `pip install ohm-mcp`
### Server won't start
- Check that port 3000+ isn't blocked (if using alternative configs)
- Ensure no firewall blocks Python execution
## Development
To modify this wrapper:

cd ohm-mcp-npm
npm install
npm run build # if needed
npm test
