Overview

mcp-use is a comprehensive framework that allows developers to build MCP servers and applications with TypeScript and Python. It provides a complete ecosystem including SDKs, debugging tools, and deployment services. The framework supports creating both MCP servers that expose tools to AI agents and MCP apps that build interactive widgets across different AI platforms.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 3 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Building custom AI agents with specialized tools
you:Creating interactive widgets for ChatGPT and Claude
you:Deploying MCP servers to the cloud with observability

When to choose this

Choose mcp-use when you need a full-stack solution for building both MCP servers and applications with support for multiple programming languages and ready-to-use templates.

When NOT to choose this

Avoid if you need complete self-hosting without third-party dependencies or if you prefer building MCP servers from scratch without a framework.
