01 · Install Pudge UI

Claude Code

claude mcp add pudge-studio-pudge-ui -- npx -y @pudge-ui/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pudge-studio-pudge-ui": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pudge-ui/mcp-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

repo age created 2026-06-28 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @pudge-ui/mcp-server - the @pudge-ui scope differs from the repo owner (pudge-studio); confirm it's the project's official package

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