설치

클라이언트 선택

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visual-explainer-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
        "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visual-explainer-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
        "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

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

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visual-explainer-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
        "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visual-explainer-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
        "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "visual-explainer-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
        "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "visual-explainer-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer",
          "~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

claude mcp add visual-explainer-skill -- git clone https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer ~/.claude/skills/visual-explainer

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