MCP.Pizza Chef: metatool-ai

MetaMCP works like a single front desk: you set up your collection of tools once in the MetaMCP web app, then point Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf at this one entry. It brings no abilities of its own, so everything you see comes from the tools sitting behind it. The project is officially deprecated, and its own notice sends people to the newer MetaMCP all-in-one version; the code here last changed in June 2025.

MetaMCP MCP Server

🚨 DEPRECATED PACKAGE WARNING 🚨

This local proxy package is deprecated in MetaMCP's 2.0 all-in-one architecture.

Please checkout https://github.com/metatool-ai/metamcp for more details.

MetaMCP MCP Server is a proxy server that joins multiple MCP⁠ servers into one. It fetches tool/prompt/resource configurations from MetaMCP App⁠ and routes tool/prompt/resource requests to the correct underlying server.

Installation

Installing via Smithery

Sometimes Smithery works (confirmed in Windsurf locally) but sometimes it is unstable because MetaMCP is special that it runs other MCPs on top of it. Please consider using manual installation if it doesn't work instead.

To install MetaMCP MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @metatool-ai/mcp-server-metamcp --client claude

Manual Installation

export METAMCP_API_KEY=<env>
npx -y @metamcp/mcp-server-metamcp@latest
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MetaMCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@metamcp/mcp-server-metamcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "METAMCP_API_KEY": "<your api key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

mcp-server-metamcp FAQ

Is this still maintained?
No. The project marks this package deprecated and points to the newer all-in-one MetaMCP at github.com/metatool-ai/metamcp. The code here last changed in June 2025.
Do I need an account or a key?
Yes. It needs a MetaMCP account key, because the list of tools it serves lives in the MetaMCP web app rather than in a file on your computer.
Can I use this to add a new tool to Claude Desktop?
Yes — you add the tool once inside MetaMCP and it appears through this single entry instead of as another line in your settings.
What can it do on its own?
Nothing at all. It has no abilities of its own; every action you see belongs to one of the tools you connected behind it.
Is it safe to run in the shared network mode?
Be careful. In its web-server modes it listens on every network address on your machine and asks for no password unless you switch on its optional access-key check, and even then the key simply sits in the web address.
How hard is the setup?
Moderate. You paste a short block into your app's settings, but you also have to sign up for MetaMCP and add each of your tools there first.
Which apps does it work in?
The project says any MCP-compatible app, and names Claude Desktop and Windsurf specifically.
