Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @crayon-c4/mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add crayon-c4-mcp -e 'CRAYON_C4_LICENSE_KEY=<your crayon_c4_license_key>' -- npx -y @crayon-c4/mcp@1.51.0
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "crayon-c4-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@crayon-c4/mcp@1.51.0"
            ],
            "env": {
                "CRAYON_C4_LICENSE_KEY": "<your crayon_c4_license_key>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

  • CRAYON_C4_LICENSE_KEY secret Optional. Unlocks repository scanning and AI enrichment. Without it, the free tier still gives the full local authoring loop (create/edit elements, relationships, diagrams, validation).
