From the repository
Obtain a server key from MCP.so by selecting a hosting server and clicking Connect. Then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the command npx -y mcprouter and the environment variable SERVER_KEY set to your key. Alternatively, build the server from source using npm run build and point to the built index.js.

Quick Start
1. Get Remote MCP Server Key
go to MCP.so, select a hosting server,
click Connect to generate your exclusive server_key.
2. Configure MCP Server in any MCP Client
take Claude Desktop for example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fetch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcprouter"],
"env": {
"SERVER_KEY": "xxx"
}
}
}
}
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcprouter": {
"command": "/path/to/mcprouter/build/index.js"
}
}
}
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
