01 · Install Kosha Model Discovery
before you install - you'll need
The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.
Claude Code
claude mcp add sriinnu-kosha-discovery -- npx -y @sriinnu/kosha-discovery Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"sriinnu-kosha-discovery": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@sriinnu/kosha-discovery"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key
