contextlayer-mcp

One-click install

Add this server to your editor with a single click. Fill in any required credentials afterward.

Claude Code

Run this once and Claude Code registers the server for you:

claude mcp add ctxl -- npx -y ctxl

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json under Settings → Developer → Edit Config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctxl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ctxl"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctxl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ctxl"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline and other MCP clients

Most MCP clients accept the standard mcpServers JSON block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctxl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ctxl"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Register the server with OpenAI's Codex CLI — run this once, or add the equivalent block to ~/.codex/config.toml:

codex mcp add ctxl -- npx -y ctxl

# or add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.ctxl]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "ctxl"]

OpenClaw

OpenClaw reads MCP servers from the mcp.servers section of ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (managed via `openclaw mcp add` or the mcporter skill):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "ctxl": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "ctxl"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
