01 · Install Dali by Lulu

Claude Code

claude mcp add lulu-the-narwhal-dali-mcp --transport http https://dali.getlulu.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lulu-the-narwhal-dali-mcp": {
      "url": "https://dali.getlulu.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 · remote - your agent's requests go to dali.getlulu.dev

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package dali-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.Lulu-The-Narwhal is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
