Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Server Modal deploy this script to modal and give me the shareable link"
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.

An MCP Server that allows users to deploy python scripts to modal.
Installation
Make sure that modal is setup:
pip install modal
python3 -m modal setupThen setup the server with the filesystem server in your Claude desktop app:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-modal": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/mcp-server-modal",
"run",
"modal-server"
]
},
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
"/Users/user/Desktop/",
"/path/to/other/dir"
]
}
}

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools, as there are no other tools to confuse it with. The tool's purpose is inherently distinct by default in this minimal set.
A single tool inherently exhibits perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tool names to compare it against or deviate from. The name 'deploy' follows a clear verb pattern, but consistency is trivially achieved with only one element.
A single tool is generally too few for most server purposes, as it limits functionality and suggests an incomplete or overly narrow scope. For a server named 'MCP Server Modal', which implies modal interactions or deployments, one tool feels insufficient to cover meaningful workflows or operations.
With only a 'deploy' tool, the surface is severely incomplete for any reasonable domain inferred from the server name. There are obvious gaps, such as lacking tools for managing, updating, listing, or deleting deployments, making it impossible for agents to perform basic lifecycle operations without workarounds.
