banquish-mcp

The MCP server of Banquish, for any MCP client.

Banquish is a Mac app (Apple silicon) that lets your agent answer with the live web: it opens the real pages, takes the parts that answer you (a price, a chart, a player, a table) and composes them into a Workspace you see. Those parts stay live.

Use it

Install the Banquish app first, from banquish.space or with Homebrew:

brew install --cask banquish-app/tap/banquish

Open Banquish once: each launch installs ~/.banquish/bin/banquish, the shim this package runs. For Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop, its Connect your agent card sets everything up with one click, and Claude Code users can add the Banquish plugin. For any other client, under Connect your agent open Any other MCP client and click Copy for a configuration you can use as it is. Or give the client this package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banquish": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "banquish-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

What it does

banquish-mcp runs ~/.banquish/bin/banquish mcp, the stdio shim the Banquish app installs, with stdio passed straight through. The shim relays MCP to the Banquish app on your Mac and opens Banquish if it's closed. This package has no dependencies and sends nothing anywhere itself.

If the shim is missing, banquish-mcp prints how to install Banquish to stderr and serves Banquish's MCP surface itself, so clients and directories can see what it offers without the app: it answers initialize (and server/discover for 2026-07-28 clients) with Banquish's instructions, and tools/list with Banquish's tools. Every tool call returns an error that says how to install Banquish. The tool list is exported from the app into tools.json by npm run export-tools, run with Banquish open.
