🚀 Installation Guide
Don't worry if you don't have anything installed yet! Just follow these steps or ask your assistant to help you with the installation.
Step 1: Install Node.js
macOS
- Install Homebrew if not installed:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" - Install Node.js 18:
brew install node@18 echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@18/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc
Windows
- Download Node.js 18 LTS from nodejs.org
- Run the installer
- Open a new terminal to apply changes
Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Step 2: Install uv and uvx
All Operating Systems
-
Install uv:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh -
Install uvx:
uv pip install uvx
Step 3: Verify Installation
Run these commands to verify everything is installed:
node --version # Should show v18.x.x
npm --version # Should show 9.x.x or higher
uv --version # Should show uv installed
uvx --version # Should show uvx installed
Step 4: Configure MCP Server
Your assistant will help you:
-
Find your Cline settings file:
- VSCode:
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json - Claude Desktop:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows VSCode:
%APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json - Windows Claude:
%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- VSCode:
-
Add this configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "aindreyway-mcp-neurolora": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aindreyway/mcp-neurolora@latest"], "env": { "NODE_OPTIONS": "--max-old-space-size=256", "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }
Step 5: Install Base Servers
Simply ask your assistant: "Please install the base MCP servers for my environment"
Your assistant will:
- Find your settings file
- Run the install_base_servers tool
- Configure all necessary servers automatically
After the installation is complete:
- Close VSCode completely (Cmd+Q on macOS, Alt+F4 on Windows)
- Reopen VSCode
- The new servers will be ready to use
Important: A complete restart of VSCode is required after installing the base servers for them to be properly initialized.
Note: This server uses
npxfor direct npm package execution, which is optimal for Node.js/TypeScript MCP servers, providing seamless integration with the npm ecosystem and TypeScript tooling.
Base MCP Servers
The following base servers will be automatically installed and configured:
- fetch: Basic HTTP request functionality for accessing web resources
- puppeteer: Browser automation capabilities for web interaction and testing
- sequential-thinking: Advanced problem-solving tools for complex tasks
- github: GitHub integration features for repository management
- git: Git operations support for version control
- shell: Basic shell command execution with common commands:
- ls: List directory contents
- cat: Display file contents
- pwd: Print working directory
- grep: Search text patterns
- wc: Count words, lines, characters
- touch: Create empty files
- find: Search for files
🎯 What Your Assistant Can Do
Ask your assistant to:
- "Analyze my code and suggest improvements"
- "Install base MCP servers for my environment"
- "Collect code from my project directory"
- "Create documentation for my codebase"
- "Generate a markdown file with all my code"

FAQ
- What is the Coding File Management MCP server?
- Coding File Management 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 Coding File Management?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
