How do I install the marvin 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 `MARVIN_API_URL`, `MARVIN_SITE_CLIENT_TOKEN`, `MARVIN_WORKSPACE_SLUG`, `MARVIN_MCP_READ_ONLY` 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 Marvin MCP Server?

Official Model Context Protocol server for Marvin CMS.

What you get

marvin-mcp is the LLM-facing adapter for Marvin. It talks directly to @inneropen/marvin-sdk; it does not shell out to marvin-cli and it does not recreate Marvin API behavior.
