Cerebras Code MCP Server v1.2.0

This MCP server is designed for planning with Claude Code and making changes with Cerebras to maximize speed and intelligence while avoiding API limits. Use your preferred AI for planning and strategy, then leverage Cerebras for high-quality code generation.

It will use the Qwen 3 Coder model, and can be embedded in IDEs like Claude Code, with beta support for Cursor.

✨ New in v1.2

• Project Restructure: Organized project into smaller, more manageable components for DX purposes
• Stronger Instruction: Improved write usage count among models
• Claude Code - Enhanced Visual Diffs: Displays changes/edits in a pretty format
• Hide User API Key: For security, doesn't display entered API keys in the terminal
• Update Config Wizard for Messy Configs: Ensure user setup always works despite previous installs

1. Install the NPM Package

npm install -g cerebras-code-mcp

2. Get Cerebras API key

Visit cloud.cerebras.ai and create an API key

[OPTIONAL] Add OpenRouter as a backup in case you hit your Cerebras rate limits Visit OpenRouter and get a key to use as a fallback provider.

You can set this key in your MCP settings under OPENROUTER_API_KEY, and it will trigger automatically if anything goes wrong with calling Cerebras.

3. Run the Setup Wizard for Claude Code / Cursor

cerebras-mcp --config

Use the setup wizard to configure the tool on your machine.

If you're using Cursor, it will ask you to copy and paste a prompt into your Cursor User Rules.

4. Usage

The MCP tool will appear as write in your tool list. It supports:

• Natural language prompts: Just describe what you want in plain English
• Context files: Include multiple files as context for better code understanding
• Visual diffs: See changes with Git-style diffs

Example usage:

Create a REST API with Express.js that handles user authentication
