claude mcp add -s user tokensaver -e TOKENSAVER_API_URL=https://tokensavermcp.com -- dotnet tool execute TokenSaver.Mcp --yes

↗

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokensaver": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["tool", "execute", "TokenSaver.Mcp", "--yes"],
      "env": { "TOKENSAVER_API_URL": "https://tokensavermcp.com" }
    }
  }
}

♦

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokensaver": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["tool", "execute", "TokenSaver.Mcp", "--yes"],
      "env": { "TOKENSAVER_API_URL": "https://tokensavermcp.com" }
    }
  }
}

Other clients, or install everywhere at once

The register command detects installed MCP clients and writes the config for all of them in one shot. Recommended for CI and scripted setup.

dotnet tool install -g TokenSaver.Mcp
tokensaver-mcp register

To upgrade later — close Visual Studio and any Claude sessions first, then:

dotnet tool update --global TokenSaver.Mcp
