mcp-installer - A MCP Server to install MCP Servers

This server acts as an installer for other MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. By installing this server, you can instruct Claude to install MCP servers hosted on npm (Node Package Manager) or PyPi (Python Package Index). It relies on npx for installing Node.js-based servers and uv for Python servers, so ensure these are installed.

How to install:

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file, located in your Claude application support directory:

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-installer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@anaisbetts/mcp-installer"
      ]
    }
  }

Example prompts

Hi Claude, please install the MCP server at /Users/anibetts/code/mcp-youtube, I'm too lazy to do it myself.
