{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mirror-aldrin-labs_metal-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/metal-mcp/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You run a Metal MCP Server that provides fast access to Metal Framework documentation through natural language queries and can generate Metal code snippets for common tasks. This server helps you search, learn, and prototype Metal code directly via the MCP protocol.

How to use

After you deploy the Metal MCP Server, you can interact with it from an MCP client to perform two main tasks: search Metal documentation and generate Metal code. You can query the Metal docs using natural language to retrieve relevant sections, examples, and best practices. You can also request code snippets for common Metal tasks in your preferred language (Objective-C, Swift, or Metal). Use these capabilities to explore getting started guidance, optimize your Metal workflows, and rapidly scaffold code for your projects.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing:
- Node.js (recommended latest LTS) and npm installed on your system.
- A shell environment to run commands.

Install and build the Metal MCP Server with these steps.

# Install and build the Metal MCP Server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/create-server metal-mcp && cd metal-mcp && npm install && npm run build

Add the server to your MCP configuration

Configure the MCP client to point to your local Metal MCP Server by adding it to your mcpServers list. This example shows the local runtime configuration you should place in your MCP config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/metal-mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
