Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:
extract-mcp-servers-from-url — Extracts MCP Servers from given URLextract-mcp-servers-from-content — Extracts MCP Servers from given contentsubmit-mcp-server — Submits a MCP Server to the MCP Server Directory likeResources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverDebugging — Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the [MCPThe server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 5 environment variables: OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL, OPENAI_MODEL, MCP_SERVER_SUBMIT_URL, UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
File and storage servers are what separate an assistant that talks about your documents from one that actually works with them. Collector sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — extract-mcp-servers-from-url, extract-mcp-servers-from-content, submit-mcp-server among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other file systems servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
