[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) support via [`@nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit`](https://github.com/nuxt-modules/mcp-toolkit).

Your site exposes tools and resources that AI agents like Claude can query for page data and search.

## Installation

```bash
npx nuxi module add @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit
```

```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-ai-ready',
    '@nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit',
  ],
})
```

See [@nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit docs](https://github.com/nuxt-modules/mcp-toolkit) for server configuration.

## Connection

Add to Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-site": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nuxtjs/mcp-client", "https://example.com/mcp"]
    }

MCP tools return data from the [SQLite](https://sqlite.org) database populated during prerendering.

<table>
<thead>
  <tr>
    <th>
      Environment
    </th>
    
    <th>
      Data Source
    </th>
  </tr>
</thead>

<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <strong>
        Dev mode
      </strong>
    </td>
    
    <td>
      Empty (no prerender data)
    </td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
    <td>
      <strong>
        Production
      </strong>
    </td>
    
    <td>
      SQLite database
    </td>
  </tr>
</tbody>

For full MCP functionality, test with a production build (`nuxi generate`).
