Frequently asked questions
What are the system requirements to run Rector Mcp?
Node.js 18+ and npm are required. The server runs via `npx` or can be globally installed.
How can I test Rector Mcp locally before integrating with a client?
Use the MCP Inspector: run `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y @vasilvestre/mcp-rector` and test the tools interactively in the Inspector UI.
How do I configure Rector Mcp with Claude Desktop?
Add a `rector` entry to your Claude Desktop configuration file (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json`) with `"command": "npx"` and `"args": ["-y", "@vasilvestre/mcp-rector"]`.
What should I do if I get permission errors or cache issues?
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed. On Unix/Linux try `npx --yes mcp-rector`. Clear npx cache with `rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx`. On Windows you may need to adjust PowerShell execution policy.
