How to activate: Provide a valid CodeRide API key that starts with CR_API_KEY_
What you get:
- Full integration with your CodeRide workspace
- Real project and task data
- Ability to update tasks and projects
- Complete workflow automation
Traditional MCP Configuration
For non-Smithery deployments, add this configuration to your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"CodeRide": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@coderide/mcp"],
"env": {
"CODERIDE_API_KEY": "YOUR_CODERIDE_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Prerequisites:
- Node.js and npm: Ensure you have Node.js (which includes npm) installed.

FAQ
- What is the CodeRide MCP server?
- CodeRide is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for CodeRide?
- This profile displays 29 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.4 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
