安装

选择你的客户端

~/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
    }
  }
}

打开 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config。保存后重启应用。

~/.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
    }
  }
}

Cursor 使用与 Claude Desktop 相同的 mcpServers 格式。项目级配置优先于全局。

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
    }
  }
}

点击 Cline 侧栏中的 MCP Servers 图标，然后选 "Edit Configuration"。

~/.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
    }
  }
}

格式与 Claude Desktop 相同。重启 Windsurf 生效。

~/.continue/config.json

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

Continue 使用服务器对象数组，而非映射。

~/.config/zed/settings.json

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

加入 context_servers。Zed 保存后热重载。

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

一行命令搞定。用 claude mcp list 验证，claude mcp remove 卸载。

使用场景

实战用法： Visual Explainer

Generate a stakeholder-friendly recap of a code review

👤 Tech leads briefing non-engineers ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

何时使用： After a big PR you want a one-page recap a PM can read.

前置条件

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

步骤

Load the diff

Read PR #481's diff + reviews. Use the visual-explainer skill to produce a stakeholder recap.✓ 已复制

→ A self-contained HTML file with the recap
Share

Add a slide-deck version too — 5 slides max.✓ 已复制

→ Second HTML file in deck mode

结果： Two artifacts you can paste into a Slack thread.

注意事项

Don't paste full diffs — Don't paste full diffs — the skill expects pre-summarized inputs. Run a summarization pass first.
