Description

@arabold

Installation of MCP servers is still somewhat cumbersome. To help new devs, we could offer a command line installation. It could work something like this:

docs-mcp-server setup cursor

Are there any NPM packages available that could help with this already? Possibly relevant links and packages

  • A Unified Approach for Installing MCP Servers in IDEs and Tools modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#1160
  • mcp-installer: A general-purpose service tool designed to install other MCP servers, supporting both Node.js and Python packages through npm or PyPI, which streamlines deployment across different environments.
  • @michaellatman/mcp-get: This global CLI tool, installable via npm install -g @michaellatman/mcp-get, assists with obtaining and managing MCP server dependencies.
  • @mcp-use/cli: A powerful build and development tool for creating MCP applications, which can also help manage the setup and integration of MCP servers within your development workflow.
    NPM Plus: Described as an "MCP server that brings npm package management + analysis + security directly into AI editors" like Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Cline.
