Instructions how to set up Metabob MCP for Claude Code.

Install Metabob

To get started, you need to install the Metabob CLI tool. If you don't have access to it yet, please request it by contacting [e-mail].

Step 1: Download the latest version of metabob-cli

Download the current Metabob CLI release for your operating system.

Step 2: Move metabob-cli into your system PATH

Place the file in a directory included in your PATH, or another convenient execution location.

Make sure that the file is executable.

Step 3: Make the CLI executable (not needed on Windows)

On Mac/Linux:

chmod +x metabob-cli

## change metabob-cli to whatever name it is stored with in your computer

On Windows: use cmd. Assuming you downloaded the file to the default folder %userprofile%\Downloads\x.exe

cd /d %userprofile%
md .local\bin
copy Downloads\x.exe %userprofile%\.local\bin\metabob-cli.exe
set PATH %userprofile%\.local\bin;%PATH%
setx PYTHONUTF8 1
set PYTHONUTF8 1
metabob-cli versione it
REM ensure that you see the expected version here
REM Settings, Environment Variables, Path, prepend %userprofile%\.local\bin
REM in cmd, please cd back to your project root folder
REM do not use setx with Path

Step 4: Create .cursor/mcp.json file

Configure a custom Cursor MCP in the .cursor/mcp.json. Set up the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metabob": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/metabob-cli", <--- path must match where metabob-cli is stored
      "args": ["mcp", "--transport", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "METABOB_CONFIG_PATH": ".metabob-config.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 5: Create .metabob/config.json file

Create a .metabob folder and create a config.json file in it. Set up the following configuration:

{
  "base_url": "https://ide.metabob.com",
  "api_key": "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE",
  "session_path": ".metabob",
  "include_paths": ["src/**/*.py", "**/*.js", "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx", "**/*.py"],
  "exclude_paths": ["tests/**", "node_modules/**", "*.test.*", "dist/**"],
  "job_timeout_minutes": 10
}

Note: remember to change "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE" to your Metabob API key

Step 6: Restart Cursor

Close Cursor completely (Cmd/Ctrl +Q) and reopen

Step 7: Enable Metabob in the Cursor settings under Installed MCP Servers:

Step 8: Try using Metabob

Try using metabob by asking the agent:

• Open AI chat on Cursor (Cmd/Ctrl + L)

• Ask: "What Metabob tools are available?"

If this works, next tell the agent:

• "Use Metabob to search for security issues"

• "What should I work on? Use get_priority_issues"

If you cannot get the Metabob MCP to work on Cursor, please contact [e-mail].
