Type Atlas MCP Server

Type Atlas is what I have all my code agents use across all of my TypeScript projects for all code navigation needs. Most of those projects are monorepos. Some are large and complex enough that understanding how a change fits into the rest of the system is a real part of the work. This tool was designed as a complete replacement for an agent's default code navigation methodology.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Type Atlas

Claude Code

claude mcp add tyler-mitchell-type-atlas -- npx -y @type-atlas/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tyler-mitchell-type-atlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@type-atlas/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package @type-atlas/mcp - the @type-atlas scope differs from the repo owner (tyler-mitchell); confirm it's the project's official package

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