Cerebras Code MCP Server v1.2.0

This MCP server is designed for planning with Claude Code and making changes with Cerebras to maximize speed and intelligence while avoiding API limits. Use your preferred AI for planning and strategy, then leverage Cerebras for high-quality code generation.

It will use the Qwen 3 Coder model, and can be embedded in IDEs like Claude Code, with beta support for Cursor.

✨ New in v1.2

• Project Restructure: Organized project into smaller, more manageable components for DX purposes

• Stronger Instruction: Improved write usage count among models

• Claude Code - Enhanced Visual Diffs: Displays changes/edits in a pretty format

• Hide User API Key: For security, doesn't display entered API keys in the terminal

• Update Config Wizard for Messy Configs: Ensure user setup always works despite previous installs
