Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account vikramgorla for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

Switzerland MCP 🇨🇭's local MCP server; no sign-in required; STDIO; 94 tools.

No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Switzerland MCP 🇨🇭 in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Installation

Quick Start

That's it. No API keys, no .env files, no accounts. Pick your client below and paste the config.

One-Click Install (.mcpb)

.mcpb bundles work with Claude Desktop and any MCP Bundle-compatible app.

⬇ Download mcp-swiss.mcpb

[Install in Claude Desktop]

Open the downloaded file — your app handles the rest. No config editing, no terminal, no API keys.

Claude Desktop

Edit your config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Claude Code (CLI)

That's it — Claude Code will use it in your next session.

Cursor

Requires Cursor 0.45.6+

Option A: Project config — create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

Option B: Global config — create ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

Option C: Via Cursor Settings UI

Open Cursor Settings
Go to Features → MCP Servers
Click + Add new global MCP server
Paste the JSON config above

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

One-click Install

[Install in VS Code] [Install in VS Code Insiders]

CLI Install

bash

Manual Config

Add to your VS Code User Settings (JSON) — press Ctrl+Shift+P → Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON):

json

{  "mcp": {    "servers": {      "swiss": {        "command": "npx",        "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss"]      }    }  }}

{  "mcp": {    "servers": {      "swiss": {        "command": "npx",        "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss"]      }    }  }}

Or add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (shareable with your team):

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/model_config.json:

Cline (VS Code)

Open VS Code settings.json and add:

json

{  "cline.mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss"]    }  }}

{  "cline.mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss"]    }  }}

Any MCP Client

mcp-swiss uses stdio transport and requires no environment variables. Upstream calls time out after 30 seconds (MCP_SWISS_TIMEOUT_MS overrides that) and retry once on a dropped connection or a rate limit. The universal config:

This works with any MCP-compatible client — just plug it in.

Docker

Use with any MCP client that supports Docker-based servers. The container uses stdio transport:

For Claude Desktop, update your config to use Docker:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "docker",      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "vikramgorla/mcp-swiss"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "docker",      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "vikramgorla/mcp-swiss"]    }  }}

Also available on GitHub Container Registry:

Streamable HTTP

stdio is still the default. For a local HTTP client, run:

That listens on 127.0.0.1:3000 and serves MCP at POST /mcp (also GET and DELETE) plus GET /health. --port, --host, PORT, HOST, and MCP_TRANSPORT=http are the other switches.

A bind that is not loopback (127.0.0.1, localhost, or ::1) refuses to start unless both MCP_AUTH_TOKEN and MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS are set. Sessions are capped (MCP_MAX_SESSIONS, default 64) and idle ones expire. This is the transport half of #64. It does not deploy a hosted instance.

Module Filtering

By default, mcp-swiss loads all 27 modules (94 tools). The full tools/list schema is about 9,300 tokens (37,011 characters). For a smaller startup list, load only the modules you need.

Discovery mode

Search, then execute. The server lists three meta-tools instead of every schema (about 330 tokens versus about 9,300):

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--discovery"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--discovery"]    }  }}

MCP_SWISS_MODE=discovery and --mode discovery do the same thing. swiss_search_tools finds tools by keyword or module and returns their input schemas. swiss_call_tool checks those arguments, then runs the tool. swiss_list_modules is the catalog. The default, with no flag, is still the full tool list.

Select specific modules

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--modules", "transport,weather"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--modules", "transport,weather"]    }  }}

Use presets

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--preset", "commuter"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "swiss": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-swiss", "--preset", "commuter"]    }  }}
