01 · Install NVIDIA Elements

Claude Code

claude mcp add nvidia-elements -- npx -y @nvidia-elements/cli

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nvidia-elements": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nvidia-elements/cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

npm package @nvidia-elements/cli - the @nvidia-elements scope differs from the repo owner (nvidia); confirm it's the project's official package

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