How do I install the hanzo mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `HANZO_API_KEY`, `HANZO_BASE_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Hanzo MCP Server?

Python orchestration tools for Hanzo AI. The hanzo command itself is now a native binary — https://hanzo.sh

What the server does

This is the most complete Hanzo SDK — a uv workspace of 60+ composable packages covering the full AI surface: the typed cloud client, an agent framework, the Model Context Protocol server and tools, persistent memory + RAG, distributed compute, and a batteries-included CLI. If you build AI in Python, start here.
