# 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...
```
Press Ctrl-D or Ctrl-C to terminate it.
