Otter MCP Server Setup

This skill guides the installation and configuration of the @o3r/mcp MCP server.

Installation

The @o3r/mcp server runs via npx and requires no permanent installation. Configure it in your MCP settings with:

{
  "@o3r/mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "-p", "@o3r/mcp", "o3r-mcp-start"]
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the above configuration to .mcp.json at the project root.

VS Code

Add the following to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "Otter": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "-p", "@o3r/mcp", "o3r-mcp-start"]
  }
}

Metrics (optional)

Ask the user if they want to enable anonymous usage metrics to help improve Otter. If they agree, add an "env" block to the configuration:

"env": {
  "O3R_METRICS": true
}
