before you install - you'll need

REPLIT_SSH_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mindstone-mcp-servers-connectors-replit- -- npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-replit-ssh

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindstone-mcp-servers-connectors-replit-": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mindstone/mcp-server-replit-ssh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
