How to install atlas-mind in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI

Add the server

bash

claude mcp add --transport http atlas-mind https://{ATLAS_HOST}/mcp

Verify it's connected
bash
```
claude mcp list
```
Sharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes. It discovers them automatically.

How to install atlas-mind in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://{ATLAS_HOST}/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install atlas-mind in CursorAI-first code editor

Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mind": {
      "url": "https://{ATLAS_HOST}/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.

How to install atlas-mind in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.atlas-mind]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://{ATLAS_HOST}/mcp"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {

    }
  }

Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.

What tools does atlas-mind expose?

The server did not respond when we asked for its tool list. It may be offline, or it may not speak HTTP transport.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Atlas Mind

![Live demo](https://atlas-mind.anakior.app/) ![Licence: AGPL v3](LICENSE) !Python 3.11+ !Dependencies: standard library !Database: none

It's your mind, not someone else's.

Notion, and every hosted notes app, ask you to pour your thinking into *their* structure, on *their* servers, in *their* format. You rent the space; they hold the keys. Atlas Mind inverts that: your knowledge is plain files in your own git repository, served by an engine you can read line by line and throw away without losing a single note. Your AI comes to *your* library through an open protocol; it never pulls your brain into its own.

Own the data. Own the engine. Own the mind.

🔗 [Try the live demo →](https://atlas-mind.anakior.app/demo/) (offline build, some features missing) · [What is Atlas Mind?](https://atlas-mind.anakior.app/)

Atlas Mind is a self-hostable wiki / knowledge base engine, and an external brain you share with your AI. It serves a single-page viewer from a folder of documents (a *mind*), keeping the engine (the code) cleanly decoupled from your content (your notes, in their own git repository). Built on three ideas:

Multi-format, not just Markdown. Markdown is first-class (rendered, linked, searched). Standalone HTML decks and dashboards, PDFs, Word `.docx`, images and JSON are previewed inline, rendered in your browser, nothing uploaded anywhere.
AI-native. It exposes an MCP endpoint (thirty-four tools to read, write, triage, map, rewind and audit your mind), and atlas init scaffolds the conventions (AGENTS.md, agents/, ai-sessions/) so an assistant knows how to use your mind.
Lightweight & self-contained. A single Python HTTP server on the standard library: no database, accounts and share links live as plain JSON on disk, frontend libraries and fonts are vendored. A running instance never sends your content anywhere: your mind never leaves your disk, and nothing you write trains anyone's model. Its only outbound request by default is reading an MCP client's public metadata when you connect that client over OAuth (switchable off).

It is not a multi-tenant SaaS, a real-time collaborative editor, or a plugin marketplace. One focused mind per instance, fully yours.

Install

Installing puts a self-contained atlas command on your PATH (the viewer assets ship inside the package, no separate download).

bash

# Easy way: uv or pipx (isolated env, no virtualenv to manage)
uv tool install atlas-mind        # or: pipx install atlas-mind
atlas serve ~/my-mind

# Run once without installing, straight from PyPI
uvx atlas-mind serve ~/my-mind    # or: pipx run atlas-mind serve ~/my-mind

# With pip (a virtualenv is recommended)
pip install atlas-mind

Requires Python >= 3.11 and a git repository for your content.
