Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name MCP Gateway, Server, and Client
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Install globally with npm install -g mcp-server-and-gw or run directly via npx mcp-server-and-gw http://localhost:8808/. Configure Claude Desktop by adding an entry to claude_desktop_config.json that calls the gateway with the remote server’s URL. Start your own SSE server on the specified port.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
