## Install

### How to install Mode VC Chart: Vercel AI SDK Downloads vs. the Lab SDKs in Claude Code

1. Add the server

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks https://modevc.com/api/mcp/chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks
```

2. Verify it's connected

```bash
claude mcp list
```

3. 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).

4. Use it in a session

   Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. get_venture_chart_of_the_day, search_charts, get_chart_data). It discovers them automatically.

### How to install Mode VC Chart: Vercel AI SDK Downloads vs. the Lab SDKs in Claude Desktop

1. Open your MCP config

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

2. Add this server

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://modevc.com/api/mcp/chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

3. 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.

4. Restart Claude Desktop

   The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

### How to install Mode VC Chart: Vercel AI SDK Downloads vs. the Lab SDKs in Cursor

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

    "chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks": {
      "url": "https://modevc.com/api/mcp/chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks"
    }
  }
}

### How to install Mode VC Chart: Vercel AI SDK Downloads vs. the Lab SDKs in Codex CLI

1. Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

```toml
[mcp_servers.chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://modevc.com/api/mcp/chart-vercel-ai-sdk-downloads-vs-lab-sdks"]
```

2. Why the wrapper?

   Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.

3. Run Codex

   Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

- `get_venture_chart_of_the_day` — Returns the most recent charts from Mode VC's Chart of the Day archive (one new chart per day, mostly AI model, adoption, developer-package and pricing data), newest first, each with its claim, takeaway, URL and cited sources.
- `search_charts` — Searches every chart in the Mode VC Chart of the Day archive by keyword over title, claim, takeaway and keywords. Returns claims, takeaways, canonical URLs, markdown endpoints and cited sources. The archive grows by one chart a day; the response states its current size.
