Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "family-history-research-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",

        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

claude mcp add family-history-research-skill -- git clone https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill ~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill

한 줄 명령. claude mcp list로 확인, claude mcp remove로 제거.

사용 사례

실전 활용법: Family History Research Skill

Plan a research session for one ancestor's birth date

👤 Genealogists ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

언제 쓸까: You don't know where to look next for an ancestor stuck pre-1850.

사전 조건

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

흐름

Frame

Using the genealogy skill, frame a research question for finding John Smith's birth date (b. ~1820, Cork, Ireland).✓ 복사됨

→ Research question + source hierarchy
Plan

Generate a search plan with specific record sets (Irish civil registration, Catholic parish registers, US naturalization).✓ 복사됨

→ Ordered, scoped search plan

결과: A real plan instead of random Ancestry hunts.

함정

Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves. — Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves.
