01 · Install Lore Context

before you install - you'll need

LORE_API_KEY

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

Claude Code

claude mcp add lore-context-lore-context -- npx -y @lore-context/server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lore-context-lore-context": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lore-context/server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem

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

npm package @lore-context/server - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@lore-context)

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