Gctrl MCP Server

Ground your data. Command your AI. GCTRL turns your scattered documents, databases, and code into one governed knowledge graph - then grounds your LLMs and agents on it, with enterprise-grade access control, entirely on your own infrastructure. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Gctrl

Claude Code

claude mcp add gctrl-tech-platform -- npx -y gctrl-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gctrl-tech-platform": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gctrl-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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