What is @mcplookup-org/mcp-server?

The MCP Bridge Server is a universal MCP client that provides dynamic discovery and management of other MCP servers. It eliminates hardcoded server lists, allowing AI agents to discover and connect to any MCP server in real-time through a single bridge.

How to use @mcplookup-org/mcp-server?

Install globally via npm install -g @mcplookup-org/mcp-server, set the required environment variable MCPLOOKUP_API_KEY (get yours from mcplookup.org/dashboard), and run as a stdio server with mcp-bridge or as an HTTP server with mcp-bridge --http --port <port>. Integrate with Claude Desktop by adding an entry to mcpServers configuration with the command mcp-bridge.

FAQ from @mcplookup-org/mcp-server

What is the main benefit over hardcoded MCP server lists?

Instead of manually adding every server to the client configuration, one universal bridge entry gives dynamic access to all registered MCP servers via the MCPLookup registry.

What runtime or dependencies are required?

Node.js with TypeScript 5.8+ is required. Docker installation is optional but recommended for server isolation.

Where does server discovery data come from?

Discovery queries use the MCPLookup.org API (default https://mcplookup.org/api/v1). An API key is required.

Does the bridge support authentication or environment injection?

Yes, container environments support safe injection of variables, and the bridge automatically escapes and validates sensitive credentials. Bridge credentials are never exposed to managed servers.

What transports and modes are available?

The bridge can run in stdio mode (as an MCP server) or as an HTTP server (with --http and optional port).
