Install create-workpaper in your MCP client

create-workpaper is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

  1. Locate your client's MCP config file.
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
    • Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Add create-workpaper to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
  3. Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
  4. Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; create-workpaper's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "create-workpaper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@bilig/create-workpaper"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install create-workpaper in Cursor

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Cursor. create-workpaper will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install create-workpaper in Claude Desktop (macOS)

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (macOS). create-workpaper will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install create-workpaper in Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). create-workpaper will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install create-workpaper in VS Code

Open Settings → Extensions → MCP in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart VS Code. create-workpaper will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

npm package: @bilig/create-workpaper

Transport

create-workpaper supports the following MCP transports. Most AI clients use stdio by default for locally-installed servers.

From the create-workpaper README

# @bilig/create-workpaper Create a runnable Bilig WorkPaper starter for Node services and agent tools. ```sh npm create @bilig/workpaper@latest pricing-workpaper cd pricing-workpaper npm install npm run smoke ``` The generated starter builds a quote-approval workbook, writes inputs through an API-style handler, recalculates formulas, persists JSON, restores the workbook, and prints `verified: true`. After the smoke proof passes, it also prints a star/bookmark link for the GitHub repo: <https://github.com/proompteng/bilig/stargazers>. Use this when you want to evaluate `@bilig/headless` from a blank directory without cloning the full monorepo. For agent and MCP evaluation, generate the agent-ready starter: ```sh npm create @bilig/workpaper@latest pricing-agent -- --agent cd pricing-a

Other Model Context Protocol servers in the same space as create-workpaper. Each one adds different capabilities to your AI assistant — pick based on the data sources or workflows you need.

Browse the full MCP server directory or use Stork's one-line install to let your agent pick the right server automatically.
