01 · Install Alive Analysis

before you install - you'll need

Set ALIVE_ANALYSES_DIR before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add with-geun-alive-analysis -- npx -y alive-analysis-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "with-geun-alive-analysis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alive-analysis-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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