Moorcheh MCP Server

Quick Start Guide

There are two ways to use the Moorcheh MCP server:

Option 1: NPX (Recommended - No Installation Required)

The easiest way to get started:

# Set your API key and run directly
MOORCHEH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here npx -y @moorchehai/mcp

Option 2: Manual Installation

If you prefer to clone and run locally:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/moorcheh-ai/moorcheh-mcp.git
   cd moorcheh-mcp

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

Step 2: Configure Your API Key

1. Get your Moorcheh API key

   • Visit Moorcheh Dashboard

   • Sign in to your account

   • Go to your account settings

   • Generate or copy your API key

2. Set up your environment

   # Copy the example environment file
   cp env.example .env

3. Edit the .env file

   # Open .env in your preferred editor
   # Replace 'your_moorcheh_api_key_here' with your actual API key
   MOORCHEH_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

Step 3: Start the Server

npm start

That's it! Your Moorcheh MCP server is now running and ready to use.
