- Fix claude mcp add scope flag: -s user for global, -s project for per-project --libs (--project flag does not exist) - Project scope writes to .mcp.json (committed); not settings.local.json - Document dual-scope pattern and expected conflict warning - Document MCP tools not available mid-session after claude mcp add; require /reload-plugins or new session - Expand context add step with llms.txt-first workflow for registry gaps (Anthropic, Claude Code, MCP docs not in public registry) - Fix self-check: explicit scope flag required, context list for identifiers - Add .mcp.json with project-scoped context serve --libs for this repo Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01TP4EGbBg3XMcyF28Lx78XJ

| neuledge-context | Use when the user wants to install @neuledge/context, register it as a Claude Code MCP server, manage documentation packages (install, browse, add, remove, list), configure custom registries, or manage auth for private registries. Do NOT use when the user wants to install a different MCP server, wants to query docs from an already-running context server (call `get_docs` directly), or is setting up @neuledge/context for Cursor, VS Code Copilot, or Claude Desktop rather than Claude Code. |

Required inputs
- Task type — install / register-mcp / package-management / auth / upgrade / uninstall; inferred from user request, ask if ambiguous
- Package name(s) (package management only) — name(s) to install, add, or remove; ask if not stated
- Library list (project MCP scope only) — space-separated lib names for
--libs; ask if not stated - Domain (auth only) — domain to authenticate against; ask if not stated
- Credential reference (auth only) — environment variable or secret manager path holding the token or cookie; never the raw value
Constraints
- Run
scripts/setup-neuledge-context.sh <VERSION>for install and upgrade — never runnpm install -g @neuledge/context@latest - Run
scripts/secure-context-config.shimmediately after everycontext auth add— never skip the permissions step - Check
git --versionbefore runningcontext addon a URL or GitHub source; skip the check for local.dbfile paths - Never echo, repeat, or log auth token or cookie values — reference the environment variable name only
- Scope all steps to stdio mode; HTTP/Docker mode is documented in
references/http-mode.md, not covered here - State what you are about to do before running
setup-neuledge-context.sh— it modifies global npm and Claude Code MCP config
Process
-
Identify task. Infer the task type from the user's request. If the request spans multiple tasks (e.g. install + package install), execute them in the order listed below.
-
Install. (Skip if
context --versionalready returns the target version.)- State: "I will run
scripts/setup-neuledge-context.shfrom the ai-development repo root — this installs@neuledge/contextglobally at the pinned version." - Run:
bash scripts/setup-neuledge-context.shfrom/root/ai-development/ - Verify:
context --version - See
references/install-notes.mdfor prerequisites and native SQLite build tool requirements.
- State: "I will run
-
Register global MCP server. (One-time per machine. Skip if already registered at user scope.)
- Check:
claude mcp list | grep '^context '— if output is non-empty, skip. - Run:
claude mcp add -s user context -- context serve - Confirm:
claude mcp list - Note: the default scope for
claude mcp addislocal(machine-specific, not shared). Always pass-s userfor global availability across all projects. - Note: MCP tools (
search_packages,get_docs,download_package) only appear in the active session after/reload-pluginsor starting a new session — they are not immediately available mid-session after registration.
- Check:
-
Scope MCP to specific libraries (optional, per-project). (When user wants to restrict the MCP session to pre-approved libraries for a project.)
- Collect the library list from the user if not stated.
- Verify each identifier: run
context listfor already-installed packages (authoritative) orcontext browse <name>for registry packages. Do not guess identifiers. - Run:
claude mcp add -s project context -- context serve --libs <verified-id1> <verified-id2> ... - This writes to
.mcp.jsonin the project root — commit this file to share the scope with the team. - If both user and project scopes exist for the same server name, Claude Code will warn about dual registration — this is expected. Project scope overrides user scope within the project directory.
- Note: with
--libs, thesearch_packagesanddownload_packageMCP tools are hidden; onlyget_docsis available for the listed libraries.
-
Manage packages.
- Browse registry:
context browse <name>— shows available versions. The public registry is JS/frontend-focused; key AI/agent packages (Anthropic SDK, Claude Code, MCP SDK) are absent — usecontext addfor those. - Install from registry:
context install <registry/name> [version]— e.g.context install npm/react. - Add from source (for registry gaps): Many docs sites publish
llms.txt; prefer that over cloning. Check<url>/llms.txtor<url>/llms-full.txtbefore falling back to GitHub. Checkgit --versionfirst if source is a GitHub repo URL.Seecontext add https://docs.anthropic.com --name claude-docs # llms.txt site context add https://modelcontextprotocol.io --name mcp-docs # llms.txt site context add https://github.com/org/repo --path docs --name mylib # GitHub reporeferences/context-cli-reference.mdfor all flags. - List installed:
context list— use this to get the exact installed identifier for--libs. - Remove:
context remove <name>@<version>to target a specific version;context remove <name>removes all versions — confirm with the user before removing all.
- Browse registry:
-
Configure auth. (Private registries or subscriber-only content.)
- Run:
context auth add <domain> --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"— use the environment variable name, not the value. - Immediately run:
bash scripts/secure-context-config.shfrom/root/ai-development/
- Run:
-
Configure custom registry. (Self-hosted registry server.)
- Read
~/.context/config.json. Add a server entry following the schema inreferences/context-cli-reference.md. - Test:
context browse <package> --server <name>
- Read
-
Upgrade. Run
bash scripts/setup-neuledge-context.sh <TARGET_VERSION>from/root/ai-development/. The script checks the current version and skips if already at target. -
Uninstall.
- Run:
npm uninstall -g @neuledge/context - Ask the user before removing downloaded packages:
rm -rf ~/.contextdeletes all installed documentation and config — confirm before running.
- Run:
Output format
No structured output file. The skill produces terminal confirmation of each completed step. Artifacts:
@neuledge/contextinstalled globally at pinned version- MCP server entry in user config (global,
-s user) or.mcp.jsonin project root (project-scoped,-s project, committed to repo) - Downloaded
.dbpackages in~/.context/packages/ - Modified
~/.context/config.json(auth entries, registry config)
Failure handling
scripts/setup-neuledge-context.shnot found — stop; instruct user to run from/root/ai-development/contextbinary not found after install — report npm error; checknode --versionis ≥18- MCP registration fails — run
claude mcp listto check for name conflicts; ifcontextis registered with different args or at the wrong scope, remove withclaude mcp remove context -s <scope>and re-add at the correct scope - MCP tools not visible after registration —
claude mcp addmid-session does not immediately expose tools; run/reload-pluginsor start a new session - Dual-scope warning after adding project scope — expected when user and project scopes both define
context; project takes precedence in the project directory. Remove the unwanted scope withclaude mcp remove context -s <scope> context addfails with "git not found" — adviseapt-get install git(Debian/Ubuntu) or equivalent; re-run after install- Native SQLite build failure — Context falls back to WASM automatically; advise installing build tools for better performance:
apt-get install -y python3 make g++on Debian/Ubuntu. Seereferences/install-notes.mdfor known gotchas.
