npx -y @smithery/cli install @jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server --client claude

Manual Installation

# Install from npm
npm install @jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server -g

# Or run with Global site configuration
npx -y @jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server --site global

# Run with authentication (for accessing private data)
npx -y @jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server --site global --session <YOUR_LEETCODE_SESSION_COOKIE>

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and run it locally:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd leetcode-mcp-server

# Build the project
npm install && npm run build

# Run the server
node build/index.js --site global

Usage

Visual Studio Code Integration

Add the following JSON configuration to your User Settings (JSON) file. Access this by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P and searching for Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).

Option 1: Using Environment Variables

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "leetcode": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server"],
        "env": {
          "LEETCODE_SITE": "global",
          "LEETCODE_SESSION": "<YOUR_LEETCODE_SESSION_COOKIE>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Using Command Line Arguments

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "leetcode": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "@jinzcdev/leetcode-mcp-server",
          "--site",
          "global",
          "--session",
          "<YOUR_LEETCODE_SESSION_COOKIE>"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

For LeetCode China site, modify the --site parameter to cn.

[!TIP] The server supports the following optional environment variables: - LEETCODE_SITE: LeetCode API endpoint ('global' or 'cn', default: 'global') - LEETCODE_SESSION: LeetCode session cookie for authenticated API access (default: empty) Priority Note: Command-line arguments take precedence over environment variables when both are specified. For example: - If LEETCODE_SITE=cn is set but you run leetcode-mcp-server --site global, the server will use global. - If LEETCODE_SESSION exists but you provide --session "new_cookie", the command-line session value will be used.
