MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that brings **deterministic tech stack recommendations** to LLM clients like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools.

**Try it free** — 8 tools work without an account, including a daily demo recommendation and MCP project kit.

## Quick Start

### Claude Code (CLI)

```bash
# macOS/Linux
claude mcp add stacksfinder npx -y @stacksfinder/mcp-server

# Windows (requires cmd wrapper)
claude mcp add-json stacksfinder '{
  "command": "cmd",
  "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
  "env": {"STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx"}
}'

# With API key (macOS/Linux)
claude mcp add-json stacksfinder '{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
  "env": {"STACKSFINDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_xxx"}
}'
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):

**macOS/Linux:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stacksfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@stacksfinder/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
