Ask your agent

Once it is connected, ask in plain words:

  • "Find an MCP server that lets Cursor query my Postgres database, and install it."

  • "Compare the GitHub and GitLab MCP servers."

  • "What MCP servers came out this week?"

  • "Give me the Claude Code command for the Linear MCP server."

  • "Find an agent skill for editing PDFs and give me the message to install it in Grok Bot."

Install

The fastest path needs no install at all. The directory is a remote MCP server at:

https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server

Use this package when your client only runs local (stdio) servers, or when you want the server in a lockfile.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http plugmcp https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server
# or local:
claude mcp add plugmcp -- npx -y plugmcp-mcp

Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and any mcpServers JSON

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

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

{
  "servers": {
    "plugmcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server" }
  }
}

Codex CLI

codex mcp add plugmcp --url https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server

Grok Bot

Grok Bot has no config file. Send this in a Grok Bot chat and confirm the card:

Add a custom MCP server called plugmcp at https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server

Every Bot on your account gets it; attach it to a task with @. Then ask for any server or skill with grok-bot as the client, and the reply is the message that adds that one too.

Grok Build and grok.com

  • Grok Build: grok mcp add --transport http plugmcp https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server

  • grok.com: open Connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and paste https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server.

ChatGPT

Settings, then Connectors, then Add. Name plugmcp, URL https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server.

API key (optional)

Without a key you get 50 calls a day per IP. A free account gets 500 a day; paid plans get 20,000. Create a pb_live_ key at plugmcp.ai/app and pass it as PLUGMCP_API_KEY:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plugmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "plugmcp-mcp"],
      "env": { "PLUGMCP_API_KEY": "pb_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

For the remote URL, send it as Authorization: Bearer pb_live_.... Details are in auth.md.

How it works

plugmcp-mcp is a small stdio server built on the official MCP TypeScript SDK. It forwards tools/list and tools/call to https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server over Streamable HTTP. The upstream connection opens on the first call and reconnects after a network error. Nothing is stored locally.

Variable

Default

Purpose

PLUGMCP_API_KEY

none

Optional pb_live_ key

PLUGMCP_URL

https://plugmcp.ai/mcp-server

Directory endpoint

Develop

npm ci
npm test        # build, then unit tests against an in-memory upstream
npm run smoke   # run the built server over stdio against plugmcp.ai

Release

Push a v* tag that matches package.json. The publish workflow runs the tests, publishes to npm (NPM_TOKEN secret), then publishes server.json to the MCP Registry as ai.plugmcp/directory, signed with the plugmcp.ai domain key (MCP_REGISTRY_PRIVATE_KEY secret).
