- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Connect any MCP client that supports SSE transport (e.g., Claude, GPT) to the live server at https://mcp-server-vs1x.onrender.com/sse. For local use, clone the repo, install dependencies with uv, and run uv run main.py to start the server on localhost:8001/sse.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
