The local (or stdio) version of the MCP server is available via the @sveltejs/mcp npm package. You can either install it globally and then reference it in your configuration or run it with npx:

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:

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 claudedesktopconfig.json file in it. Edit the file to include the following configuration:

{ "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 for more advanced setups):

[mcp_servers.svelte] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@sveltejs/mcp"] Gemini CLI

To include the local MCP version in Gemini CLI, simply run the following command:

gemini mcp add -t stdio -s [scope] svelte npx -y @sveltejs/mcp

The [scope] must be user, project or local.

OpenCode

Run the command:

opencode mcp add

and follow the instructions, selecting ‘Local’ under the ‘Select MCP server type’ prompt:

opencode mcp add

It will open a popup with MCP server config where you can add the following configuration:

{ "svelte": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sveltejs/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.
