Quick Start

1. Get Your Yuque API Token

Visit Yuque Developer Settings to create a personal access token.

2. Quick Install (Recommended)

Use the built-in CLI to auto-configure your MCP client in one command:

npx yuque-mcp install --token=YOUR_TOKEN --client=cursor

Supported clients: claude-desktop, vscode, cursor, windsurf, cline, trae, qoder, opencode

Or use the interactive setup wizard:

npx yuque-mcp setup

The CLI will automatically find the correct config file for your OS, merge with any existing configuration (without overwriting other servers), and print a success message.

3. Manual Configuration

More clients: Any MCP-compatible client that supports stdio transport can use yuque-mcp. The general pattern is: command = npx, args = ["-y", "yuque-mcp"], env = YUQUE_PERSONAL_TOKEN.

4. Done!

Authentication

The server supports multiple ways to provide your Yuque API token:

Method	Environment Variable / Flag	Description
Personal Token (recommended)	YUQUE_PERSONAL_TOKEN	For accessing your personal Yuque account
CLI Argument	--token=YOUR_TOKEN	Pass directly as a command-line argument

Priority order: YUQUE_PERSONAL_TOKEN > --token

Private Deployment

For privately deployed Yuque instances, set the YUQUE_BASE_URL environment variable or use the --base-url CLI argument:

# Environment variable
export YUQUE_BASE_URL=https://yuque.example.com/api/v2

# CLI argument
npx yuque-mcp --token=YOUR_TOKEN --base-url=https://yuque.example.com/api/v2

# Install with custom base URL
npx yuque-mcp install --token=YOUR_TOKEN --client=cursor --base-url=https://yuque.example.com/api/v2

When not set, the default is https://www.yuque.com/api/v2.
