How do I get an API key?

Sign up at hub.mkinf.io/signup, then go to API Keys settings at hub.mkinf.io/settings/api-keys, create an organization, and generate a key. Add it to your `.env` file as `MKINF_API_KEY=sk-org-...`.

Is mkinf SDK free to use?

During the beta period, all accounts receive unlimited free credits.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `SCRAPEGRAPH_LLM_MODEL`, `MKINF_API_KEY`, `SCRAPEGRAPH_LLM_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_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 Mkinf SDK MCP server?

Mkinf SDK MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Mkinf SDK directly instead of describing what you should do. mkinf SDK to interact with mkinf hub MCP servers.

What you get

The mkinf SDK is a powerful toolkit that allows you to easily integrate MCP servers into your applications. With mkinf, you can access a growing ecosystem of specialized AI capabilities through a simple, unified interface.

Setting it up

mkinf on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 4 environment variables: SCRAPEGRAPH_LLM_MODEL, MKINF_API_KEY, SCRAPEGRAPH_LLM_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by mkinf-io; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

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.
Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mkinf sdk mcp server does with a few real requests.
