One-Click MCP Install — Unyly

▸ TL;DR

Steps
- 01
Open Unyly
Go to unyly.org. Search the catalog of 80,000+ MCPs.
- 02
Pick MCP + client
Open any MCP page. Tabs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor are pre-configured.
- 03
Click Install
One button. The MCP is registered to your client. No JSON, no command line, no docs to read.
How one-click works under the hood
No magic: the Install button encodes the server’s config (command, args, env placeholders) into a deep-link like cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=...&config=<base64>. Your browser hands it to the client app, the app shows exactly what will be added, you confirm, and it writes the same mcpServers entry you would have typed by hand. For Claude Desktop the same idea ships as .mcpb Desktop Extension bundles. The point is not hiding the config — it is never mistyping it.
If the one-click prompt did not appear
The browser must be allowed to open the app protocol — the first time, Chrome/Safari show an "Open Cursor?" dialog; if you dismissed it once, the site may be remembered as blocked (check the address-bar permissions). The client also has to be installed and launched at least once so the OS knows the protocol. If deep-links are blocked entirely (corporate machines), every Unyly install tab has a copy-config fallback: paste the shown block into the client’s config file — the per-client guides give the exact path.

FAQ
Is this really one click?▸
Yes. For Claude Desktop and Cursor we use deeplink protocols that pass the config directly to the client app. For Claude Code we generate the exact terminal command — copy-paste-Enter, that's 2 clicks tops.
What MCPs are in the catalog?▸
80,000+ MCPs aggregated from the Official MCP Registry, npm, Smithery, Glama and PulseMCP. Auto-verified for security (no leaked secrets, no malicious deps), ranked by installs and rating.
Why not just use the Desktop Extensions catalog?▸
The built-in catalog has ~50 vendor-curated extensions. Unyly has 80,000+ with semantic search, version pinning, security scans, hosted runners, and aggregations across all major sources. Both can coexist on your machine.
Do I need an Unyly account?▸
Browsing and one-click install work without an account. Sign up (free) to save your library, get update notifications, and sync your MCP setup across devices.
