Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add shield-cli -- npx -y shield-cli-mcp

Or add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shield-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shield-cli-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to Cursor Settings → MCP Servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shield-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shield-cli-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Trae

Click the AI sidebar → Settings icon → MCP → Add MCP Server, paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shield-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shield-cli-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / Other MCP Clients

Use the same configuration format — command: npx, args: ["-y", "shield-cli-mcp"].

Uninstall

Claude Code: claude mcp remove shield-cli

Cursor / Trae / Windsurf: Remove the "shield-cli" entry from your MCP settings JSON.
