## Usage with Claude Code

**For Cursor users:** Use `~/.cursor/mcp.json` instead of `~/.claude/settings.json`

### Option 1: Using npx (Recommended)

No installation required. Always uses the latest version.

Add to `~/.claude/settings.json` (or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for Cursor):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cc-recommender"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 2: Global Installation

Faster startup, works offline. Requires manual updates.

```bash
npm install -g cc-recommender
```

Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "cc-recommender"
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 3: Local Build (For Development)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yuji0809/cc-recommender.git
cd cc-recommender
pnpm install
pnpm run build
```

Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/cc-recommender/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

## How to Use

### Project Analysis and Recommendations

```
You: What should I install for this project?

Claude: [Uses recommend_skills tool]

📦 Plugins
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. typescript-lsp (Official)
   ├─ Purpose: TypeScript definition jump, type checking
   ├─ Score: 95 ✅ High Match
   └─ Install: /plugin install typescript-lsp

### Keyword Search

```

Claude: [Uses search_skills tool]
```

## Available Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `recommend_skills` | Analyzes project and recommends appropriate skills/plugins/MCPs |
| `search_skills` | Search by keywords |
| `get_skill_details` | Get details of a specific item |
| `list_categories` | Get list of categories |
| `get_stats` | Get database statistics |

## Data Sources

This MCP server aggregates data from the following sources:

| Source | Content | Update Frequency |
|--------|---------|------------------|
| [anthropics/claude-plugins-official](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official) | Official plugin marketplace | Daily |
| [punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers) | Curated list of MCP servers | Daily |
| [hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code](https://github.com/hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code) | List of skills/workflows/hooks | Daily |

### Auto-Update Feature

**How it works:**
- The server automatically fetches the latest data from GitHub when it starts
- Falls back to bundled data if the remote fetch fails
- No manual updates or reinstallation required

**Offline Mode** (optional):
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cc-recommender"],
      "env": {
        "CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

When `CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE` is enabled, only bundled data is used (no remote fetching).

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE` | Disable auto-updates and use only bundled data | `false` |
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | GitHub personal access token (increases API rate limit from 60 to 5000 req/hour) | Not set |
| `SKIP_SECURITY_SCAN` | Skip security scanning during data fetch (for developers) | `false` |

**Notes:**
- To fetch skills from GitHub repositories, a GitHub token is recommended to avoid rate limits. Create a token at https://github.com/settings/tokens with `public_repo` scope.
