Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[](LICENSE) [](https://nodejs.org/) []() []()

Find, install and enable MCP servers in the middle of a session, on any MCP host. agent-discover is one local daemon that searches the official MCP Registry, npm and PyPI, installs a server after you approve the exact command and its provenance, and then exposes its tools to your host without a config edit or a restart. It also guards what it installs: tool definitions are pinned and a server whose tools change is quarantined, secrets live in the OS keychain, and every action is audited.

Why

Current hosts (Claude Code, Codex, the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs) have their own tool search, so agent-discover is not mainly about saving prompt tokens any more. What a host's tool search cannot do is work with a server you have not installed yet. Adding a new MCP server still means editing the host's config and restarting the session. agent-discover removes that step:

  • Discover. One query searches your installed servers' tool index and the public registries (a local mirror of the official MCP Registry, plus npm and PyPI).
  • Install with consent. install_server shows you the exact command or URL, the env and header names, the pinned version and the provenance checks (registry namespace, npm mcpName, PyPI, OCI label). Nothing runs until you accept.
  • Enable and disable at runtime, including servers that were installed a minute ago. Enabling indexes the server first if needed.
  • Feed the host's own tool search. In native mode (the default) every enabled server's tools are listed as __ and agent-discover sends notifications/tools/list_changed on each change, so the host's native tool search, permission

Questions

What is the agent-discover MCP server?

MCP server registry and marketplace — discover, install, activate, and manage MCP tools on demand

What tools does agent-discover expose?

22 in total: 13 read-only, 9 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is agent-discover safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does agent-discover need?

It reads OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does agent-discover run?

It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as agent-discover at 3.2.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (bcd6b758e364), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
