Here is how to get started with the near-mcp server quickly with the claude code cli
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude mcp add near-mcp npx @nearai/near-mcp@latest run
claude
Or deploy the MCP server remotely on Phala Cloud, check the instructions here
near-mcp is meant to be used is with an MCP compatible client. Learn more in the MCP docs
Adding to the claude code cli:
claude mcp add near-mcp npx @nearai/near-mcp@latest run
Adding to claude desktop via JSON config:
{
