IDE Setup

Lito Graph serves its data via MCP (Model Context Protocol) over stdio. This works with any MCP-compatible client. No cloning required — npx handles everything.

Claude Code

Create .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lito-graph": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@litodocs/graph", "https://docs.example.com/graph.json"]
    }
  }
}

Start a new Claude Code session. Run /mcp to verify the server is connected.

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lito-graph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@litodocs/graph", "https://docs.example.com/graph.json"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lito-graph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@litodocs/graph", "https://docs.example.com/graph.json"]
    }
  }
}

Local Development

For local development, you can also use the CLI directly with Bun:

# Build + serve in one step
lito-graph serve -i ./path/to/docs

# Or serve a pre-built graph file
lito-graph serve -g ./graph.json

Verify Connection

Once connected, ask your agent:

“Using lito-graph tools, show me the graph stats.”

You should see node and edge counts from your documentation.
