Set up canon-mcp-server in Cline

communityunknownunknown

MCP server that connects AI coding assistants to your team's organizational memory in canon — active migrations, deprecated patterns, architecture decisions, prior failures, and the context behind why things are the way they are.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "pip",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "canon-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to cline_mcp_settings.json. Generated from the captured install method (pip); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

Open cline_mcp_settings.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
