Setup Guide

Complete setup instructions for all supported tools and IDEs.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 22 or newer.
  • npm or npx available in the environment where the MCP host starts servers.
  • Network access during first npx install, unless the package is already cached or installed locally.

Verify the server can start:

npx -y @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp

The process uses stdio for MCP traffic and logs startup status to stderr.

IDEs & Editors

Cursor

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after adding the configuration.

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

This works with GitHub Copilot, Continue, Cline, and other MCP-compatible extensions.

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf after adding the configuration.

JetBrains IDEs

Works with IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Android Studio, GoLand, Rider, PhpStorm, RubyMine, CLion, and DataGrip.

  1. Go to Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol
  2. Add a new MCP server with this configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Zed

Add to ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corbat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after adding the configuration.

Claude Code (CLI)

Run this command:

claude mcp add corbat -- npx -y @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp

That's it! The MCP is now available in your Claude Code sessions.

Eclipse

  1. Go to Window → Preferences → AI Assistant → MCP Servers
  2. Add a new server with the command: npx -y @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp

Neovim

Using mcphub.nvim, add to your Neovim config:

require('mcphub').setup({
  servers = {
    corbat = {
      command = "npx",
      args = { "-y", "@corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp" }
    }
  }
})

Replit

In your Replit project:

  1. Go to Settings → AI
  2. Add MCP server configuration with the command: npx -y @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp

AI Extensions

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot uses your IDE's MCP configuration. Set up MCP in your IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.) and Copilot will use it automatically.

Continue

Continue uses VS Code's MCP configuration (.vscode/mcp.json). Follow the VS Code setup instructions.

Cline

Cline uses VS Code's MCP configuration (.vscode/mcp.json). Follow the VS Code setup instructions.

Other Extensions

These extensions also support MCP through your IDE's configuration:

Extension IDE Setup
Sourcegraph Cody VS Code, JetBrains Use IDE's MCP config
Tabnine VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim Use IDE's MCP config
Amazon Q VS Code, JetBrains Use IDE's MCP config
Google Gemini Code Assist VS Code, JetBrains Use IDE's MCP config
Refact.ai VS Code, JetBrains Use IDE's MCP config
Codium AI (Qodo) VS Code, JetBrains Use IDE's MCP config

Troubleshooting

AI can't find corbat

  1. Verify npm/npx is in PATH: which npx
  2. Test manually: npx @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp
  3. Restart your IDE/editor completely
  4. Check MCP logs in your tool's settings

Wrong stack detected

Override with .corbat.json in your project root:

{ "profile": "nodejs" }

Or specify in your prompt: "...using profile nodejs"

Permission errors (macOS/Linux)

npx clear-npx-cache
npx @corbat-tech/coding-standards-mcp
