Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

StackPick is a read-only directory of AI dev tools ranked by job. Scores are editorial estimates, not benchmarks. Affiliate links may be used to monetize, but they never affect scores or rankings, and rankings are never sponsored. Call list_categories, then get_best_tools with a category slug. There is no API key and no write tool.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http stackpick-mcp https://stackpick.app/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add stackpick-mcp --url https://stackpick.app/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable stackpick-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackpick-mcp": {
      "url": "https://stackpick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackpick-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://stackpick.app/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start stackpick-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "stackpick-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://stackpick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http stackpick-mcp https://stackpick.app/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackpick-mcp": {
      "url": "https://stackpick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackpick-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://stackpick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
