     bash npx @21st-dev/cli@latest install --api-key

     Replace <client> with the name of your IDE (cursor, windsurf, cline, or claude) and <key> with your API key.

   • Manual Configuration: If you prefer manual setup, add the following JSON block to your IDE’s MCP config file:

{ “mcpServers”: { “@21st-dev/magic”: { “command”: “npx”, “args”: [“-y”, “@21st-dev/magic@latest”, “API_KEY=your-api-key”] } } }

    Update the `API_KEY` value with your actual API key. The config file locations vary depending on your IDE:

    *   Cursor: `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
    *   Windsurf: `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
    *   Cline: `~/.cline/mcp_config.json`
    *   Claude: `~/.claude/mcp_config.json`
*   **VS Code Installation:** Utilize the provided install buttons for one-click installation.
*   **Manual VS Code Setup:** Manually configure VS Code by adding the provided JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file or a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your workspace.
