Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thesis-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/quzhiii/thesis-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thesis-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/quzhiii/thesis-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "thesis-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/quzhiii/thesis-skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {

          "~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: thesis-skills

Migrate a Word-format thesis draft into LaTeX without remapping 300 citations by hand

👤 Chinese graduate students switching to LaTeX late in the game ⏱ ~120 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You wrote in Word, adviser demands LaTeX, deadline is in two weeks.

Voraussetzungen

Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/quzhiii/thesis-skills ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills
Zotero/EndNote export of your library — Export .bib from Zotero or use EndNote XML

Ablauf

Import the bibliography

Use thesis-skills — import my Zotero .bib and cross-reference with the Word doc's citations.✓ Kopiert

→ Every Word citation mapped to a .bib entry; gaps flagged
Convert the body

Now convert Chapter 1 of thesis.docx to LaTeX preserving structure and citations.✓ Kopiert

→ Clean .tex with \cite{} keys, not numeric citations
Enable Citation Lock

Turn on Citation Lock before I start rearranging sections.✓ Kopiert

→ Confirmation + a note on how to verify numbering integrity

Ergebnis: A LaTeX draft with every citation key intact and a safety net against renumbering bugs.

Fallstricke

Cross-references to figures/tables break during conversion — Run the rule-pack validation pass afterward — it catches dead refs

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Validate thesis formatting against a specific university's YAML rule pack

👤 Students with university-specific format requirements ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Final submission is next week; format committee rejects on trivia.

Ablauf

Point at the rule pack

thesis-skills — validate thesis.tex against the Tsinghua rule pack.✓ Kopiert

→ Per-rule pass/fail with line references
Apply patches

For each safe-level fix, show the span-based patch preview and apply.✓ Kopiert

→ Previews show exact before/after; applied only when text matches

Ergebnis: A format-compliant thesis without the typical 3 rounds of committee rejections.

Cross-file Chinese/English language QA on the whole thesis

👤 Students writing in a second language or mixing ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Final polish; spell-check isn't enough.

Ablauf

Run sentence-aware screening

thesis-skills — full-thesis language screening. Flag connector misuse and acronym inconsistency.✓ Kopiert

→ Issues grouped by type, not raw grammar noise
Apply chosen fixes

Apply the 'safe' level fixes; preview 'risky' ones for my review.✓ Kopiert

→ Tiered application so you stay in control

Ergebnis: Consistent terminology and tone across all chapters.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

thesis-skill + filesystem

Operate across the whole thesis tree, not just one file

Run language screen across all .tex files under thesis/.✓ Kopiert

thesis-skill + github

Commit each phase (bib import, chapter convert, format fix) as its own revertable step

Commit after each conversion phase so rollback is trivial.✓ Kopiert

Werkzeuge

Was dieses MCP bereitstellt

Werkzeug	Eingaben	Wann aufrufen
import_bibliography	path to .bib / EndNote XML	Start of any migration
word_to_latex	chapter path + bib state	Converting body content
citation_lock	enable / verify	Before structural edits
rule_pack_validate	thesis path + pack name	Before submission
language_screen	thesis path + scope	Final polish

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: None
Tokens pro Aufruf: Can be large — full-thesis scans
Kosten in €: Free — skills are local files
Tipp: Scope by chapter when possible; full-thesis scans eat context.

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: No credentials — pure prompts

Datenabfluss: None — thesis stays local

Your thesis is sensitive IP; don't feed snippets to external services.
Always commit before applying auto-fixes — the Citation Lock and span patches are safe but not magical.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Skill not invoked — Claude does generic Pandoc conversion

Say 'use thesis-skills' explicitly; Pandoc doesn't do citation lock or rule-pack validation.

Prüfen: ls ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills/SKILL.md

SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

Re-clone; description drives activation.

Prüfen: head ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills/SKILL.md

Wrong trigger keywords — language screen misses cross-file issues

Pass 'full-thesis' scope explicitly rather than per-chapter.

Alternativen

thesis-skills vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
Pandoc	Generic Word↔LaTeX conversion without citation intelligence	No citation locking, no rule packs
Manual migration	Thesis is short	Hours of remapping citations
