Developer Name MCP server

This MCP server package provides a simple way to return developer information in standardized formats. It's designed to work with the Model Context Protocol specification, making it easy to access developer data programmatically.

Installation

To install the MCP server, you can use npm:

npm install mcp-server

For a global installation, which may be useful for command-line usage:

npm install -g mcp-server

Configuration

The MCP server requires a configuration file that defines the available services. Create a JSON configuration file with the following structure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "developer-name": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-developer-name"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DEVELOPER_NAME": "Wayne Wei"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Configuration Options

• mcpServers: The main object containing all server configurations
  • developer-name: A unique identifier for this particular server (you can name this whatever you want)
    • command: The command to execute (typically npx)
    • args: Array of arguments to pass to the command
    • env: Environment variables to set when running the command
    • disabled: Boolean flag to enable/disable this server
    • autoApprove: Array of patterns for requests that should be auto-approved

Usage

Starting the Server

To start the MCP server with your configuration file:

mcp-server --config path/to/your/config.json

If you've installed the package locally rather than globally, you can run it using:

npx mcp-server --config path/to/your/config.json

Accessing Developer Information

Once running, the server will respond to requests for developer information. You can access this data via HTTP requests to the server endpoint.

Example using curl:

curl http://localhost:3000/developer-name

This will return the developer information in JSON format.

Environment Variables

You can customize the information returned by modifying the environment variables in your configuration:

"env": {
  "DEVELOPER_NAME": "Your Name",
  "ADDITIONAL_INFO": "Any other information"
}

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the server:

• Check that your configuration file is valid JSON
• Ensure all required fields are present in your configuration
• Verify the server is running on the expected port
• Check environment variables are properly set

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "developer-name" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","mcp-developer-name"],"env":{"DEVELOPER_NAME":"Wayne Wei"},"disabled":false,"autoApprove":[]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "developer-name": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "mcp-developer-name"
            ],
            "env": {
                "DEVELOPER_NAME": "Wayne Wei"
            },
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "developer-name": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "mcp-developer-name"
            ],
            "env": {
                "DEVELOPER_NAME": "Wayne Wei"
            },
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
