Frequently Asked Questions
What is Smithery used for?
Smithery is the "app store + package manager" for the MCP ecosystem: browse thousands of MCP servers on smithery.ai, then install any of them into Claude, Cursor and other clients with a single CLI command instead of hand-editing config files.
How do I install an MCP server with Smithery?
Run npx -y @smithery/cli, then smithery mcp add <url> to add a connection, smithery mcp list to see installed ones, and smithery mcp remove <id> to uninstall. Each server page in the marketplace shows its ready-made command.
Is Smithery free?
The CLI is open source and free, and browsing/installing MCP servers from the marketplace costs nothing; individual servers may still require their own API keys or subscriptions, and hosted-run advanced features are separate.
