Install

npm install -g @underground-district/mcp-server

Or run directly:

npx @underground-district/mcp-server

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "underground-district": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@underground-district/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Config file location:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Claude Code

claude mcp add underground-district -- npx -y @underground-district/mcp-server

ChatGPT (via MCP bridge)

Use an MCP-to-OpenAI bridge like mcp-proxy:

npx mcp-proxy --server "npx @underground-district/mcp-server"

VS Code / Copilot

Add to your .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "underground-district": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@underground-district/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "underground-district": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@underground-district/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

How It Works

1. Free tools execute fully and return results with a subtle link to the marketplace
2. Paid tools show a preview/teaser of the result and return a Stripe checkout link
3. Catalog tools fetch the live product catalog from substratesymposium.com/api/products.json (cached for 15 minutes)
4. Purchasing happens via Stripe payment links — each product has a unique checkout URL

Development

git clone https://github.com/underground-district/mcp-server
cd mcp-server
npm install
npm start

Architecture

- Transport: stdio (standard MCP)
- Runtime: Node.js 18+
- Dependencies: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk only
- Catalog: Fetched from live API, cached in memory for 15 minutes
