Install

npm install -g @deckaura/tarot-mcp-server

Or run ad-hoc via npx:

npx @deckaura/tarot-mcp-server

Desktop extension bundle (MCPB)

Build a self-contained MCPB bundle for compatible desktop clients and stdio registries such as Smithery:

npm ci
npm run pack:mcpb

The command validates the MCPB manifest, bundles the Node.js server and its 78-card dataset, and writes build/deckaura-tarot-mcp-server-1.0.1.mcpb. Release bundles are also available from GitHub Releases.

Configure — Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

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

Configure — Cursor / Windsurf

Add to .cursor/mcp.json or ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

    "tarot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@deckaura/tarot-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
