01 · Install Gov Rider

before you install - you'll need

GOVRIDER_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add carlosahumada89-govrider-mcp-server -- npx -y @govrider/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "carlosahumada89-govrider-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@govrider/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

npm package @govrider/mcp-server - the @govrider scope differs from the repo owner (carlosahumada89); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.carlosahumada89 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
