Install Neither in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @neitherai/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Neither repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
neither-mcp
Public source mirror for the Neither CLI and MCP server.
Neither is decision memory for Cursor and Claude Desktop, with Gemini CLI as an additional install surface. Start / get a workspace API key: https://www.neither.online/start/?product=dev
Try Neither in Cursor
Get your workspace key from https://www.neither.online/start/?product=dev.
Then Add to Cursor:
Configure the key locally in Cursor (replace REPLACEWITHYOURWORKSPACEKEY). Node.js 20+ required.
Then follow the existing own-project walkthrough: llms-install.md (first-use section).
MCP server (Cursor / Claude Desktop)
Canonical install: npx -y @neitherai/mcp-server@latest
Fallback — add this to Cursor MCP settings (mcp.json) or Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"neither": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@neitherai/mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"NEITHER_API_KEY": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_WORKSPACE_KEY",
"NEITHER_API_BASE": "https://api.neither.online"
}
}
}
}- NEITHERAPIKEY — required workspace key
- NEITHERAPIBASE — optional; defaults to https://api.neither.online
Docs: https://www.neither.online/docs/mcp
The root Dockerfile builds this stdio server (not a remote HTTP process) so hosts such as Glama can introspect tools/list. The image sets a placeholder NEITHERAPIKEY so the process can start; inject a real workspace key at run time.
Agent install: llms-install.md
Claude Desktop (MCPB)
One-click local stdio bundle for Claude Desktop. Pack command:
bash scripts/pack-mcpb.shThat vendors packages/mcp-server into the .mcpb and spawns Claude’s bundled Node (node ${__dirname}/server/index.js). Cursor JSON config still uses npx -y @neitherai/mcp-server@latest.
Sideload steps, env vars, and the Windows + macOS smoke checklist (human; not run in CI): DESKTOP-EXTENSION.md.
This packaging does not mean the extension is listed or submitted to Anthropic.
See also mcpb/README.md. CI may attach a built .mcpb to the GitHub Release. Do not remove that asset when attaching Gemini CLI archives.
Gemini CLI (additional install)
Primary tested clients remain Cursor and Claude Desktop. Gemini CLI uses the same stdio server (npx -y @neitherai/mcp-server@0.1.2 in gemini-extension.json; Cursor JSON uses @latest). This is not a claim that a Gemini gallery card is live.
gemini extensions install https://github.com/stonianua/neither-mcpEnter NEITHERAPIKEY when prompted (required). Node.js 20+. MCP stays Disconnected until the key is set.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
