01 · Install Linux MCP daemon (mcpd)

before you install - you'll need

Set MCP_SERVER, MCP_TLS_FINGERPRINT, MCP_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add nucleusv-linux-mcp-daemon --transport sse https://{host}:9091/sse

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nucleusv-linux-mcp-daemon": {
      "url": "https://{host}:9091/sse"
    }
  }
}

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