Claude Code
claude mcp add khalomsky-syke -- npx -y @syke1/mcp-server Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"khalomsky-syke": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@syke1/mcp-server"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package @syke1/mcp-server - the @syke1 scope differs from the repo owner (khalomsky); confirm it's the project's official package
registry namespace io.github.khalomsky is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
