Use these steps to connect mcp-deepresearch in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {

"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{

"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-deepresearch-hirokidaichi"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
