Remote setup

The remote version of the MCP server is available on 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.

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, project or local.
