Installation
Using uv (recommended)
- Install uv:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh- Register the MCP server with your client. For Cursor, add to
.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nvim-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["nvim-mcp"]
}
}
}For other clients like Claude Desktop, see the [configuration guide](config/README.md).
Using Nix
Ensure Nix is installed with flakes enabled:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nvim-mcp": {
"command": "nix",
"args": ["run", "github:paulburgess1357/nvim-mcp"]
}
}
}- Add agent rules to specify when and how the AI should use the tools. See the [configuration guide](config/README.md#2-add-agent-rules).
- Start Neovim. It will be auto-discovered on most Linux systems.
