Remote setup

The remote version of the MCP server is available at https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp.

Here’s how to set it up in some common MCP clients:

Claude Code

To include the remote MCP version in Claude Code, simply run the following command:

claude mcp add -t http -s [scope] svelte https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp

You can choose your preferred scope (it must be user, project or local) and name.

If you prefer you can also install the svelte plugin in the svelte claude code marketplace that will give you both the remote server and a useful skill.

Claude Desktop

• Open Settings > Connectors
• Click on Add Custom Connector
• When prompted for a name, enter svelte
• Under the Remote MCP server URL input, use https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp
• Click Add

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):

experimental_use_rmcp_client = true
[mcp_servers.svelte]
url = "https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp"

Gemini CLI

To use the remote MCP server with Gemini CLI, simply run the following command:

gemini mcp add -t http -s [scope] svelte https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp

The [scope] must be user or project.
