Overview

MCP Installer MCP Server

What it does

mcp-installer is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that installs other MCP servers. Once installed, you can request installation of MCP servers hosted on npm or PyPi. The server requires `npx` for Node.js servers and `uv` for Python servers to be installed on your system.

How it connects

Use mcp-installer when you want to add new MCP servers to your setup and prefer to request installations rather than manually editing configuration files. It works with servers from npm, PyPi, and local file paths. Do NOT use this if you don't have `npx` (for Node.js servers) or `uv` (for Python servers) installed on your system - these are hard requirements.

mcp-installer - A MCP Server to install MCP Servers

How to install:

Put this into your claude_desktop_config.json (either at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude on macOS or C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Claude on Windows):

  }

Example prompts

Hey Claude, install the MCP server named mcp-server-fetch

Hey Claude, install the @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem package as an MCP server. Use ['/Users/anibetts/Desktop'] for the arguments

Hi Claude, please install the MCP server at /Users/anibetts/code/mcp-youtube, I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Install the server @modelcontextprotocol/server-github. Set the environment variable GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN to '1234567890'
