Quick Start

Get SLOP MCP running with your first MCPs in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Add Your First MCP​

Let's add the everything MCP - a great test MCP with various tools:

slop-mcp mcp add everything npx -y @anthropic/everything-mcp

This creates a .slop-mcp.kdl file in your current directory:

mcp "everything" {
    transport "stdio"
    command "npx"
    args "-y" "@anthropic/everything-mcp"
}

Step 2: Verify It's Connected​

slop-mcp mcp list

Output:

MCPs:
  everything (stdio) - connected, 12 tools

Step 3: Use It in Claude Code​

With the SLOP MCP plugin active in Claude Code, you can now:

User: What tools are available for echoing?

Claude: Let me search for echo tools.

> search_tools query="echo"

Found 2 tools from everything:
- echo: Echo back the input
- echo_delayed: Echo back after a delay

User: Echo "Hello SLOP!"

Claude: > execute_tool mcp_name="everything" tool_name="echo"
         parameters={"message": "Hello SLOP!"}

Result: Hello SLOP!

Step 4: Add More MCPs​

Add as many as you need:

# Math calculations
slop-mcp mcp add math-mcp npx @anthropic/math-mcp

# File system access
slop-mcp mcp add filesystem npx @anthropic/filesystem-mcp /path/to/allowed/dir

# A streamable HTTP MCP
slop-mcp mcp add figma -t streamable https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

# Your own MCP
slop-mcp mcp add my-mcp python ./my_mcp_server.py

Step 5: Authenticate (If Needed)​

For MCPs that require OAuth:

slop-mcp mcp auth login figma

This opens your browser for authentication. Once complete, the MCP automatically reconnects with your new credentials.

That's It!​

You now have multiple MCPs connected through a single interface. Claude only sees 8 SLOP tools regardless of how many MCPs you add.

Common Commands​

# List all MCPs and their status
slop-mcp mcp list

# Remove an MCP
slop-mcp mcp remove math-mcp

# Check auth status
slop-mcp mcp auth status figma

# View full metadata
slop-mcp mcp metadata

Windows Troubleshooting​

If Claude Code on Windows corrupts the @standardbeagle/slop-mcp package name (converting / to \), use cmd /c to wrap the npx call in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slop": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@standardbeagle/slop-mcp@latest", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
