What is the Fish MCP server?

If you already use Fish, the fish mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Fish MCP Serverは、Model Context Protocol (MCP)を使用してClaude Desktopに魚類検索機能を提供するサーバーです。FishBaseの35,000種以上の魚類データと5,000種以上の日本語名データを使用し、日本語・英語の自然言語検索に対応しています。.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • FISH_DB_PATH — データベースファイルの絶対パスを指定(オプション)
  • FishBase — 世界最大の魚類データベース
  • search_fish_by_name — The search_fish_by_name tool exposed by this server
  • search_fish_by_features — The search_fish_by_features tool exposed by this server

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at tsx on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: FISH_DB_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

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. Fish's toolset — FISH_DB_PATH, FishBase, search_fish_by_name and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by cozy-corner; 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.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Fish to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (FISH_DB_PATH, FishBase, search_fish_by_name, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Fish directly.
