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] [name] 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
• Insert the name you prefer most
• Insert https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp as the Remote MCP server URL
• Click Add

Codex CLI

Add the following to your config.toml (defaults to ~/.codex/config.toml... refer to the configuration documentation for more advanced setups):

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

To use HTTP servers in Codex you need to enable experimental_use_rmcp_client and the top level must be mcp_server but you can choose your preferred name.

Gemini CLI

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

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

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

Opencode

Run the command:

opencode mcp add

and follow the instructions, selecting Remote when asked for “Select MCP server type”:

opencode mcp add

┌  Add MCP server
│
◇  Enter MCP server name
│  [name]

◇  Select MCP server type

You can choose your preferred name.

			"url": "https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp"
		}
	}
}

The top level must be mcpServers but you can choose your preferred name.

Other clients

If we didn’t include the MCP client you are using, refer to their documentation for remote servers and use https://mcp.svelte.dev/mcp as the URL.
