01 · Install Mellos Mapping

Claude Code

claude mcp add guangminju-mellos-mapping -- npx -y mellos-mapping

  "mcpServers": {
    "guangminju-mellos-mapping": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mellos-mapping"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
