Smithery Cookbook

The Smithery Cookbook provides code examples and guides designed to help developers build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and clients, offering copy-able code snippets that you can easily integrate into your own projects.

Prerequisites

To make the most of the examples in this cookbook, you'll need:

• Smithery CLI: Install with npm install -g @smithery/cli to access the interactive playground and development tools
• Programming language runtimes for the examples you want to explore (Python 3.12+, Node.js 18+, etc.)
• Basic understanding of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/smithery-ai/smithery-cookbook.git
