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.

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 35 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.

- +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
✗ Don't
- −Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
- −Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
- −Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
- −Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
- −Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause
💡 Pro Tips

Technical Details▌
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- JSON-RPC 2.0
- stdio or HTTP transport
Compatibility
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor IDE
- Custom MCP clients
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
Integration▌
- →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
- →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
- →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
- →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
