Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"datalikers": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "datalikers-mcp"],
"env": {
"DATALIKERS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add datalikers -- npx -y datalikers-mcp \
--env DATALIKERS_API_KEY=your-api-key
Cursor
Add to Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"datalikers": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "datalikers-mcp"],
"env": {
"DATALIKERS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"datalikers": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "datalikers-mcp"],
"env": {

Configuration
| Environment Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
DATALIKERS_API_KEY | Your DataLikers API key | Yes |
DATALIKERS_URL | Custom server URL (for self-hosted instances) | No |
Development
git clone https://github.com/subzeroid/datalikers-mcp.git
cd datalikers-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Run tests:
DATALIKERS_API_KEY=your-key npm test
Tests without DATALIKERS_API_KEY will skip integration tests and only run unit tests.
How It Works
This is a thin proxy that connects to the DataLikers remote MCP server and exposes all its tools locally via stdio transport. No data processing happens locally — all requests are forwarded to the DataLikers API.
