Installation

@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Crane's toolset — Well, Production-ready, Free and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CSOAI-ORG; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
