Show HN: MCP Server Installation Instructions Generator

https://hyprmcp.com/mcp-install-instructions-generator/
10•pmig•5h ago
Hey HN, we’ve been experimenting a lot with MCP servers lately, and one of the most time-consuming challenges has been connecting MCP clients to remote MCP servers. To solve this, we built a library that generates them on the fly, enabling 1-click installation buttons and links for most clients out there.

Feel free to try out the generator and use it to improve the README of your remote MCP server with the generated markdown. You can even configure the library to return HTML instructions if someone accesses your remote MCP server via the web.

Is this only about remote MCP servers? The instructions all seem to contain a URL, but personally almost all the MCP servers I'm running locally are stdio based and not networked. Are you planning to support those in some way?

There's also this new effort by Anthropic to provide a packaging system for MCP servers, called MCPB or MCP Bundles[1]. A bundle is a zip file with a manifest inside it, a bit like how Chrome extensions are structured (maybe VSCode extensions too?).

Is this something you're looking to integrate with? I can't say I have seen any MCPB files anywhere just yet, but with a focus on simple installs and given that Anthropic introduced MCP in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised if this new format also got some traction. These archives could contain a lot more data than the small amount you're currently encoding in the URL though[2].
