Installation

To use use-mcp in your React project, install it alongside the core MCP SDK.

Package Manager

# npm
npm install use-mcp @modelcontextprotocol/sdk react react-dom

# pnpm
pnpm add use-mcp @modelcontextprotocol/sdk react react-dom

# yarn
yarn add use-mcp @modelcontextprotocol/sdk react react-dom

Requirements

• React: v18 or v19
• Node.js: v18+ (for build tooling)
• TypeScript: Recommended for type safety

Basic Configuration

No global configuration provider is required. You can import and use the hook directly in your components.
