Setup by client
Claude Desktop
- Install the framework: `npm install mcp-use` (or add it to your TypeScript project)
- Use the framework to load and orchestrate MCP servers inside your agent; it is not a standalone stdio server itself
Known issues & workarounds
⚠︎ Confusion between the framework and a server
mcp-use is a client-side framework, not a server. If you need a server to expose, pair it with a server framework like FastMCP.
