🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+
uv (recommended) or pip

Installation Steps

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd augments-mcp-server

# Install with uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or install with pip
pip install -e .

Environment Configuration

Create a .env file for optional configuration:

# Cache settings
AUGMENTS_CACHE_DIR=~/.cache/augments-mcp-server
AUGMENTS_CACHE_TTL=3600

# GitHub API (optional, for higher rate limits)
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

🚀 Usage

Option 1: Hosted MCP Server (Recommended)

For the easiest setup, connect directly to our hosted MCP server at https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp. No installation required!

Using Claude Code CLI

# Add the hosted MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http augments https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp

# Verify the server is configured
claude mcp list

# Get server details
claude mcp get augments

Using Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Manual Configuration (Claude Desktop)

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration file:

Location:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "streamable-http",
        "url": "https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using the Hosted Server

Once configured, you can access all framework documentation directly:

Access Framework Documentation:

@augments list frameworks in the web category
@augments get documentation for tailwindcss responsive design

Get Multi-Framework Context:

@augments get context for nextjs, tailwindcss, and shadcn-ui 
for building a dashboard with dark mode

Analyze Code Compatibility:

@augments analyze this React component for tailwindcss compatibility:
[paste your code]

Search Documentation:

@augments search nextjs documentation for "app router"

The hosted server provides:

✅ No installation required - Works immediately
✅ Always up-to-date - Latest framework documentation
✅ High availability - Reliable uptime with smart caching
✅ No authentication - Completely frictionless access
✅ Rate limiting protection - Intelligent abuse prevention
✅ MCP Protocol Compliant - Uses official MCP Python SDK with streamable-http transport
✅ Multi-Client Support - Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients

Option 2: Local Installation

For development, customization, or offline use, you can run the server locally.

Starting the Local Server

# Run with uv (recommended)
uv run augments-mcp-server

# Or run directly
python -m augments_mcp.server

# Development mode with auto-reload
uv run fastmcp dev src/augments_mcp/server.py

Claude Code Integration (Local)

Method 1: Using Claude Code CLI (Recommended)

# Add the local MCP server with environment variables
claude mcp add augments-local -e AUGMENTS_CACHE_DIR="~/.cache/augments-mcp-server" -e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" -- uv run augments-mcp-server

# Verify the server is configured
claude mcp list

# Get server details
claude mcp get augments-local

Method 2: Manual Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments-local": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "augments-mcp-server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/augments-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "AUGMENTS_CACHE_DIR": "~/.cache/augments-mcp-server",
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 3: Global Configuration

# Add with full path to project directory
claude mcp add augments-local -e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" -- uv run --directory /path/to/augments-mcp-server augments-mcp-server

Server Management

# List all configured MCP servers
claude mcp list

# Get details for a specific server
claude mcp get augments

# Remove the server if needed
claude mcp remove augments

# Update server configuration (remove and re-add)
claude mcp remove augments
claude mcp add --transport http augments https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing: Restart Claude Code after configuration
Connection errors: For hosted server, check internet connection. For local server, verify installation
Environment issues: Only applies to local installations
Permission errors: Ensure Claude Code has network access (hosted) or file access (local)
