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": {
    "vari": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getvari/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add vari -- npx -y @getvari/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vari": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getvari/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

Common questions

Is Vari MCP 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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 6 months 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 on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@getvari/mcp

Stdio bridge for the public Vari Hydration Tools Model Context Protocol server. Lets MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue.dev, and any other stdio-launching MCP host) call the six hydration calculators that back getvari.app — without writing a custom HTTP client.

The package is a ~50-line proxy. The real server is the Vercel-hosted HTTP endpoint at https://getvari.app/api/mcp/v1; we publish this package so stdio-only MCP installers can launch it via npx.

Tools

All six tools are deterministic, source-attributed, and require no auth.

Tool name	What it does
`calculate_water_intake`	Personalized daily water target (mL) from weight, activity, climate, caffeine.
`dehydration_check`	Symptom-scored dehydration severity (well-hydrated → severe) + recommended actions.
`pregnancy_water_intake`	Trimester-aware intake for pregnancy + postpartum, IOM/ACOG-aligned.
`kidney_safe_intake`	CKD-safe fluid allowance (KDOQI/KDIGO). Returns a restriction, not a hydration goal.
`athlete_hydration_plan`	Pre / during / post hydration plan with sweat-rate estimate (ACSM/NATA/IOC).
`optimize_hydration_for_energy`	Time-stamped intake schedule that pre-empts the afternoon crash and caffeine dips.

Every response embeds a canonical source URL pointing at the corresponding getvari.app/tools page, so LLMs that surface the call to the user can cite the methodology.

Install

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

"mcpServers": { "vari-hydration": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@getvari/mcp"] } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The six tools appear under Vari Hydration in the tools panel.

Cursor

Cursor reads the same mcp.json shape. Drop this into ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "vari-hydration": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@getvari/mcp"] } } }

Continue.dev

Add the server in your ~/.continue/config.json under experimental.modelContextProtocolServers:

"experimental": { "modelContextProtocolServers": [ { "transport": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@getvari/mcp"] } } ] } }

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
`VARI_MCP_URL`	`https://getvari.app/api/mcp/v1`	Override the upstream HTTP endpoint (e.g. for staging).
