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).
@crayon-c4/mcpclaude mcp add crayon-c4-mcp -e 'CRAYON_C4_LICENSE_KEY=<your crayon_c4_license_key>' -- npx -y @crayon-c4/mcp@1.51.0
{
"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_KEYsecret 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).
