Overview

What is MCP Installer?

MCP Installer provides tools for discovering Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from a registry, collecting configuration for connecting to a server, and installing an MCP server to your local machine. It is intended for developers who want to find, configure, and deploy MCP servers.

How to use MCP Installer?

After installing dependencies (npm install), set the SMITHERY_API_KEY environment variable in a .env file. Build the project with npm run build and start the server with node build/index.js. The server runs on stdio and will confirm successful startup with the message "MCP Finder Server running on stdio".
