README

opentools

⚠️ Retired. This project is no longer maintained.

opentools was a CLI for installing and managing local MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, built back when wiring up a local server by hand was tedious and there was no common place to find them. That problem has been solved by the wider ecosystem, so we are winding this down.

What to use instead

If you want to publish an MCP server, list it in the official MCP Registry:

The official registry is the shared source of truth for the ecosystem. The directories people actually browse, including Smithery, PulseMCP, and Glama, read from it, so publishing once there reaches far more people than this repo ever could.

If you just want to run MCP servers, most clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Continue, and others) now ship their own install flows, and many servers run remotely over HTTP so there is nothing to install locally at all.

About the name

The opentools npm package and this repository are kept by the OpenTools team. npm install opentools still resolves, but the package is deprecated and should not be used for new work. We are holding onto the name for something new down the road.

The original CLI documentation is preserved below for reference.
