Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.

Add to Cursor

If the button doesn't open Cursor, use the JSON below — Cursor accepts the same mcpServers config.
