The short version

Getting up and running locally is hopefully quite painless. We have a test suite using Ruby on Rails and is intended to provide a good demonstration of how this package can hook into ActionText.

What it needs from you

Ruby 3.1.2 - Rails 7.0.4 - PNPM (npm install -g pnpm) - Playwright (npm install -g playwright) - Node >= 16 - Docker (Used to run a simulated S3 server) - A Docker virtualizer (Orbstack or Docker Desktop) - Overmind (Preferred, not needed gem install overmind)

More MCP options

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