Install & configure

Prerequisites

required
Node.js and npm
Install Node.js and npm so you can run the server with npx or install it globally.

Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `modelbound-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Node.js and npm** — Install Node.js and npm so you can run the server with npx or install it globally. (https://nodejs.org/)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","modelbound-mcp"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `MODELBOUND_API_KEY`: Optional API key for ModelBound cloud features such as cloud.pullSkill, cloud.pushSkill, cloud.search, cloud.listSkills, cloud.resourceTree, cloud.installMarketplaceSkill, and optimization.health. Without it, local-only tools still work. (example: `<your-modelbound-api-key>`)

Note: The server runs locally over stdio. The simplest portable setup is `npx -y modelbound-mcp`. Global install (`npm i -g modelbound-mcp`) is available but not necessary.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
