01 · Install Loki Mode

before you install - you'll need

Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, LOKI_SDK_MODE, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, LOKI_AIDER_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, LOKI_MODEL_OVERRIDE, LOKI_LEGACY_BASH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add asklokesh-loki-mode -- npx -y loki-mode

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asklokesh-loki-mode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "loki-mode"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package loki-mode - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.asklokesh is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
