How do I install the mcp hub 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 `API_KEY`, `API_TOKEN`, `DB_URL`, `DB_PASSWORD`, `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, `MY_TOKEN`, `MCP_HUB_ENV`, `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` 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 MCP Hub MCP Server?

A manager server for MCP servers that handles process management and tool routing

What you get

MCP Hub acts as a central coordinator for MCP servers and clients, providing two key interfaces:

Unified MCP Server Endpoint — (/mcp):
Single endpoint for ALL MCP clients to connect to
Access capabilities from all managed servers through one connection
Automatic namespacing prevents conflicts between servers
Real-time capability updates when servers change
Simplified client configuration - just one endpoint instead of many

More MCP options

Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
