How do I install node-sdk?
- Find the launch command. The README says how the server starts (npx, uvx, docker or a remote URL) and which API keys it needs.
https://github.com/transloadit/node-sdk/tree/main/packages/mcp-server
- Add it to Claude Code. Replace the part after -- with the command from the README. Remote servers use --transport http with a URL.
claude mcp add node-sdk -- <command from README> claude mcp add --transport http node-sdk <server-url>
- Check it connected. This lists your MCP servers and their status.
claude mcp list
Or ask Claude to set it up
Paste this into Claude Code and it installs node-sdk for you:
Add the "node-sdk" MCP server from https://github.com/transloadit/node-sdk/tree/main/packages/mcp-server to Claude Code. Read its README for the launch command and any API keys I need, run claude mcp add, then check that it connects.
