Installation

Installation depends on the client that uses the MCP. Here is instructions for Claude and Goose.

Claude

Got to Settings > Developer in the Claude Desktop App. And click on Edit Config.

Add the config for the mcp server. My config looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modal-toolbox": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["modal-mcp-toolbox"]
    }
  }
}

Goose

Go to Settings and Click on Add.

Then add an extension like in the screenshot below. The important part is to set command to:

uvx modal-mcp-toolbox

The rest you can fill in as you like.
