When to choose this server

Magic MCP has moved to the unified 21st MCP. The old package now acts as a compatibility proxy rather than a separate Magic backend.

Setup and limitations

The upstream README says old Magic API keys were reset. Obtain a new key from 21st.dev/mcp and follow the current 21st client setup. If an old configuration connects but authentication fails, check the key migration before changing transports.

These notes check the linked documentation, not a live authenticated connection. Suggested checks are steps for you to run.
