What the publisher says
From the Files repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
🧰 mcp-suite
A collection of Model Context Protocol servers, built in TypeScript.
Each server lives in its own folder under servers/ and publishes to npm as an independent package, while sharing tooling through an npm workspace. Connect them to any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and more.
