Overview
What is MetaMCP MCP Server?
MetaMCP MCP Server is a proxy server that joins multiple MCP servers into one. It fetches tool, prompt, and resource configurations from MetaMCP App and routes requests to the correct underlying server. It is designed for developers who want to manage all their MCP servers through a single unified interface.
How to use MetaMCP MCP Server?
Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @metatool-ai/mcp-server-metamcp --client claude) or manually by setting the METAMCP_API_KEY environment variable and running npx -y @metamcp/mcp-server-metamcp@latest. You can also pass command-line arguments (--metamcp-api-key and --metamcp-api-base-url) which take precedence over environment variables.
