Overview

What is Rehe?

Rehe implements the Desktop Extensions (DXT) format, a specification for packaging local MCP servers into single-file .dxt archives that can be installed with one click. It includes a CLI tool for creating extensions, the manifest schema, and the loader used by Claude for macOS and Windows.

How to use Rehe?

Install the CLI globally via npm install -g @anthropic-ai/dxt, then in your MCP server’s folder run dxt init to create a manifest.json and dxt pack to produce the .dxt file. Open the resulting file with an app that supports DXT (e.g., Claude for macOS or Windows) to install.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Desktop Extension (.dxt)?

A `.dxt` file is a zip archive containing a local MCP server and a `manifest.json`. It is similar to Chrome `.crx` or VS Code `.vsix` files, enabling single-click installation of MCP servers.

What are the dependencies for using the Rehe CLI?

The CLI requires Node.js and is installed globally via `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/dxt`. No other runtime dependencies are needed beyond those of the MCP server being packaged.

Where does the extension data live?

The extension is a self-contained zip file. When installed, the app (e.g., Claude) loads the server from the unpacked archive on the local filesystem.

How do I package a Python or Node.js extension?

For Python, bundle packages in `server/lib/` or a full virtual environment in `server/venv/`. For Node.js, run `npm install --production` and bundle the `node_modules` directory. The manifest’s `server.entry_point` points to the main executable or file.

What transport and authentication does Rehe use?

The MCP server communicates over stdio transport. Authentication is handled by the server itself; Rehe does not impose its own auth layer. The manifest can specify environment variables and parameters via `mcp_config.env`.
