Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `make` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install GNU Make and/or Just** — The server requires GNU Make and/or Just to be installed on the system. It auto-detects whether to use just (if a Justfile is present) or make (if a Makefile is present). (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/ and https://github.com/casey/just/overview/?)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","@paretools/make"]

Note: The server runs over stdio via npx. It wraps local Makefile/Justfile task runners and auto-detects whether to use make or just based on files present in the working directory.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
