How do I install the lyra tool discovery 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 `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `AI_PROVIDER`, `AI_MODEL`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` 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 Lyra Tool Discovery MCP Server?

AI-powered MCP tool discovery - find, analyze, and generate plugin configs for Model Context Protocol servers

What the server does

The tool crawls multiple sources—GitHub and npm—to find crypto-related MCP servers, APIs, and plugins. It filters results to focus exclusively on blockchain, DeFi, web3, and cryptocurrency tooling (including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, wallets, tokens, NFTs, DEXs, staking, bridges, and more). Lyra then leverages state-of-the-art AI (OpenAI GPT-4o or Anthropic Claude) to analyze each discovered tool and automatically generates ready-to-use plugin configurations.
