MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that brings deterministic tech stack recommendations to LLM clients like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Try it free — 4 tools work without an account, including a daily demo recommendation.

Quick Start

Claude Code (CLI)

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add stacksfinder npx -y @stacksfinder/mcp-server

# With API key for full features
claude mcp add-json stacksfinder '{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
  "env": {"STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx"}
}'

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stacksfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stacksfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}
