MCP server
MCP Assistant connects MCP Assistant to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server.
After cloning the repository, run the command to install the dependencies:
Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
The server reads one environment variable: TOOLS_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Assistant sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Development — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
This listing has no verified copy-paste launch configuration. Use the project documentation to confirm the entry point, runtime and authentication before registering it in your MCP client. A package name or repository alone is not a runnable configuration.
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
