We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other
You need to fill in: CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY

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).
You fill in yourself: CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

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": {
    "constellation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@constellationdev/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add constellation --env CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @constellationdev/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "constellation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@constellationdev/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "constellation": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@constellationdev/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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 Constellation 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?

You need to fill in: CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY

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 (1.3.0) reached the registry 15 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 on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Constellation MCP Server

Give your AI coding assistant instant, intelligent access to your entire codebase's structure, dependencies, and relationships without transmitting any source code. Constellation provides code intelligence as a service to AI coding assistant tools.

Quick Start

Add the Constellation MCP server to your AI assistant project-level config (or system-level if your tooling doesn't support project-level configuration):

"mcpServers": { "constellation": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@constellationdev/mcp@latest"], "env": { "CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY": "${CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY}" } } } }

[!NOTE]

The above example is a generic format for the .mcp.json file used by some tools such as VSCode and Claude Code.

Rather than directly configuring the MCP server, it is recommended to install and utilize official Constellation Plugins for optimal performance and behavior!

For information on configuring other AI assistants see the MCP Server > Installation doc.

For further instructions regarding authentication, project setup, and configuration refer to the official docs.

Parse and Analyze: The CLI tool analyzes source code in _your_ environment, extracting structural metadata (functions, classes, variables, imports, calls, references, etc.)
Upload: Only the metadata is securely sent to Constellation, never raw source code
Query: AI assistants use the Constellation MCP tool to send complex queries, and get rapid answers derived from the knowledge graph
