# 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.
