Installing via Smithery

To install Jina AI for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install jina-ai-mcp-server --client claude

Option 1: NPX (Recommended)

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jina-ai-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "jina-ai-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JINA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Local Installation

Clone the repository
Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jina-ai-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/jina-ai-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JINA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_KEY>"

  }
}

Config File Location

On MacOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

API Response Types

All tools return structured JSON responses that include:

Status codes and metadata
Formatted content based on the requested output type
Usage information (token counts)
When applicable: images, links, and additional metadata

For detailed schema information, see schemas.ts.

You must be authenticated.

security – no known vulnerabilities

remote-capable server
