01 · Install Christensen

Claude Code

claude mcp add m2ai-mcp-servers-mcp-christensen -- npx -y mcp-christensen

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "m2ai-mcp-servers-mcp-christensen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-christensen"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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