Readme and setup notes from the catalogue, plus a client-ready config you can copy for your MCP host.
The MCP Tool Kit provides a flexible platform to discover and run a wide range of MCP-compatible tools through multiple transport methods. It enables you to connect via standard HTTP endpoints or local stdio connections, and it includes many built-in tools for file management, time operations, web search, browser automation, data analysis, and document handling. This guide will walk you through using the kit, installing it, and configuring it for your workflow.
How to use
You can use the MCP Tool Kit in two primary ways: run the server locally and access it via a web-based transport (SSE) or connect to it through a local stdio channel for desktop integrations. The server exposes an HTTP endpoint for web access and a stdio channel suitable for desktop clients like Claude.
How to install
Prerequisites: ensure you have Docker installed and running on your machine. You may also need a supported shell (PowerShell on Windows or a compatible terminal on macOS/Linux). Follow the quick install commands for your platform to set up the MCP Tool Kit.
