								# Homebrew's MCP Server
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Homebrew's MCP Server is the official MCP ([Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)) server for Homebrew.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								You don't need to do anything to install it.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								It's provided by default with Homebrew through the `brew mcp-server` command.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Usage
							 | 
						||

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Run `brew mcp-server` to launch the Homebrew MCP Server.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```bash
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ brew mcp-server
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								==> Started Homebrew MCP server...

| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 |

|
