How do I use mcp-framework-starter?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type `@` followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "`@mcp-framework-starter` add a new tool to handle API requests" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a [step-by-step guide with screenshots](https://glama.ai/blog/2025-07-08-how-to-install-and-use-mcp-servers).
