Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knowdrift": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/knowdrift",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add knowdrift -- npx -y @reneturcios/knowdrift mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knowdrift": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/knowdrift",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "knowdrift": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/knowdrift",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Knowdrift safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

knowdrift

knowdrift connects an MCP client to a web crawl that is organised by topic. Instead of searching the open web blindly, you first ask which topics the crawler has already covered, then pull the documents it filed under the topics that match your question. Answers come back as ranked documents drawn from pages that were actually crawled and indexed.

This package is a thin forwarding client. It speaks MCP over stdio on one side and relays each tool call to the public remote service over streamable HTTP on the other, returning whatever the remote sends back.

Tools

`list-topics`

Takes no arguments. Returns the names of the topics for which crawled content is currently available, so you can discover the subject areas the index covers before searching it.

`search`

Retrieves the documents that best match a question inside chosen topics.

Argument	Type	Required	Notes
`topics`	array of string	yes	One or more topic identifiers, as returned by `list-topics`. Only documents filed under at least one of these topics are considered.
`query`	string	yes	The natural-language question used to rank documents by semantic relevance.
`topK`	number	no	How many documents to return at most, from 1 to 30. Defaults to 10; results arrive sorted by descending relevance.

CLI usage

npx @reneturcios/knowdrift list-topics

npx @reneturcios/knowdrift search '{"topics":["technology"],"query":"How do vector databases work?","topK":5}' npx @reneturcios/knowdrift --version

The tool subcommands accept the tool's arguments as a single JSON object string and print the first text block of the result. Exit codes are 0 on success, 1 when the call returns an error result, and 2 for usage errors.

MCP usage

Start the stdio server with the mcp subcommand:

npx -y @reneturcios/knowdrift mcp

MCP client configuration:

"mcpServers": { "knowdrift": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/knowdrift", "mcp"] } } }

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/knowdrift

docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/knowdrift search '{"topics":["technology"],"query":"What is new in quantum computing?"}'

With no arguments the container runs the stdio MCP server; any other arguments are passed to the CLI.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Purpose
`DRIFLYTE_MCP_URL`	`https://mcp.driflyte.com/mcp`	Overrides the upstream remote MCP endpoint that calls are forwarded to.
`REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`	`30000`	Per-request timeout for upstream calls, in milliseconds.

No account or API key is needed: the upstream service is public. When the upstream cannot be reached or answers with an error, the tool returns an error result whose text begins with knowdrift error: rather than fabricating documents.

Development

npm install

npm run build npm test npm run dev

The test suite runs fully offline. It drives the forwarding logic against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream and checks the served tool list against the documented tool surface.
