• Automatic detection and installation of MCP servers
• Support for installing servers from npm packages and GitHub repositories
• Automatic retrieval and caching of server README content
• Server configuration assistance
• Custom command configuration support
• Seamless integration with the MCP ecosystem

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18.0.0

Installation

npm install -g mcp-auto-install

Usage

Basic Commands

# Start the MCP Auto Install server
mcp-auto-install

Configuration

MCP Auto Install uses two configuration files:

1. mcp_settings.json: Internal configuration file for storing server registration information
2. External configuration file: Specified by the MCP_SETTINGS_PATH environment variable, used for storing server command configurations

Environment Variables
