@stacksfinder/mcp-server

npm version License: MIT

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that brings deterministic tech stack recommendations to LLM clients like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Try it free — 4 tools work without an account, including a daily demo recommendation.

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"], "env": { "STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx" } } } }

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to .cursor/mcp.json or .windsurf/mcp.json in your project root:

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

VS Code + Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "stacksfinder": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"], "env": { "STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx" } } } }
