MERN MCP
mern-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for scaffolding full MERN stack CRUD resources inside an existing codebase, with direct setup support for both Claude Code and Codex CLI. It generates MongoDB and Mongoose models, Express services and routes, React client modules, and the wiring needed to plug new resources into a real application with a safer preview-before-apply workflow.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install MERN MCP
Claude Code
claude mcp add irtezaasadrizvi-mern-mcp -- npx -y mern-mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"irtezaasadrizvi-mern-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mern-mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
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 mern-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.IrtezaAsadRizvi is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · Who maintains MERN MCP
MERN MCP is maintained by irtezaasadrizvi. It's the only MCP server we track from this author; the repo dates to Mar 2026.

Is MERN MCP still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-03-29. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install MERN MCP?
Run `npx -y mern-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does MERN MCP run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
