title: Local setup
---
The local (or stdio) version of the MCP server is available via the [`@sveltejs/mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sveltejs/mcp) npm package. You can either install it globally and then reference it in your configuration or run it with `npx`:
```bash
npx -y @sveltejs/mcp
```
Here's how to set it up in some common MCP clients:
## Claude Code
To include the local MCP version in Claude Code, simply run the following command:
```bash
claude mcp add -t stdio -s [scope] svelte -- npx -y @sveltejs/mcp
```
The `[scope]` must be `user`, `project` or `local`.
## Claude Desktop
In the Settings > Developer section, click on Edit Config. It will open the folder with a `claude_desktop_config.json` file in it. Edit the file to include the following configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"svelte": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@sveltejs/mcp"]
}
}
}
```
## Codex CLI
Add the following to your `config.toml` (which defaults to `~/.codex/config.toml`, but refer to [the configuration documentation](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/config.md) for more advanced setups):
```toml
[mcp_servers.svelte]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@sveltejs/mcp"]
```
## Copilot CLI
Use the Copilot CLI to interactively add the MCP server:
```bash
/mcp add
```
Alternatively, create or edit `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` and add the following configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"svelte": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@sveltejs/mcp"]
}
}
}
```
## Gemini CLI
To include the local MCP version in Gemini CLI, simply run the following command:
```bash
gemini mcp add -t stdio -s [scope] svelte npx -y @sveltejs/mcp
```
The `[scope]` must be `user`, `project` or `local`.
## OpenCode
You can automatically configure the MCP server using the [OpenCode plugin](opencode-plugin) (recommended). If you prefer to configure the MCP server manually, run:
```bash
opencode mcp add
```
and follow the instructions, selecting 'Local' under the 'Select MCP server type' prompt:
```bash
opencode mcp add
┌ Add MCP server
│
◇ Enter MCP server name
│ svelte
│
◇ Select MCP server type
│ Local
│
◆ Enter command to run
│ npx -y @sveltejs/mcp
```
## VS Code
- Open the command palette
- Select "MCP: Add Server..."
- Select "Command (stdio)"
- Insert `npx -y @sveltejs/mcp` in the input and press `Enter`
- When prompted for a name, insert `svelte`
- Select if you want to add it as a `Global` or `Workspace` MCP server
## Cursor
- Open the command palette
- Select "View: Open MCP Settings"
- Click on "Add custom MCP"
It will open a file with your MCP servers where you can add the following configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"svelte": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@sveltejs/mcp"]
}
}
}
```
## Zed
Install the [Svelte MCP Server extension](https://zed.dev/extensions/svelte-mcp).

## Other clients
If we didn't include the MCP client you are using, refer to their documentation for `stdio` servers and use `npx` as the command and `-y @sveltejs/mcp` as the arguments.
