napier

Napier is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to streamline the installation of other MCP servers. By leveraging the capabilities of Claude, a conversational AI, users can install MCP servers hosted on npm or PyPi with simple prompts. This server requires the installation of npx for Node.js servers and uv for Python servers. Napier simplifies the process of setting up MCP servers, making it accessible even to those with minimal technical expertise. Users can configure Napier by adding specific settings to their claude_desktop_config.json file, allowing for seamless integration with Claude's desktop application. Once configured, users can issue commands to Claude to install various MCP servers, specifying any necessary arguments or environment variables.
