Bin-only STDIO bridge for the hosted You.com MCP server at https://api.you.com/mcp.

This package does not register tools locally and does not contain REST tool logic. Its only job is to proxy STDIO MCP traffic to the hosted remote server.

Quick start

// Add this to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
// Free tier — no API key, no signup.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_PROFILE": "free" }
    }
  }
}

If your client supports remote MCP, point it at https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free directly — no local process needed.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_PROFILE": "free" }
    }
  }
}

Authenticated (all default tools):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_API_KEY": "<your-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

# Free tier
claude mcp add you -e YDC_PROFILE=free -- npx @youdotcom-oss/mcp

# Authenticated
claude mcp add you -e YDC_API_KEY=<your-key> -- npx @youdotcom-oss/mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_PROFILE": "free" }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_PROFILE": "free" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to your user or workspace mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "you": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": { "YDC_PROFILE": "free" }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client (remote)

If your client speaks streamable HTTP, skip the local bridge:

https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free

Authenticated:

https://api.you.com/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <your-key>

Install

bun add @youdotcom-oss/mcp

Or run it directly:

npx @youdotcom-oss/mcp

Environment

  • YDC_API_KEY Optional. Sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.
  • YDC_PROFILE Optional. When set to free, routes the bridge to https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free.
  • YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS Optional. Comma-separated hosted tool ids to expose through https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=....

YDC_PROFILE takes precedence over YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS.

Tool exposure

The default hosted MCP URL exposes four tools:

  • you-search
  • you-contents
  • you-balance
  • you-discover

Two additional tools are available on request:

  • you-finance
  • you-research

Request additional tools explicitly with tools. tools scopes the visible tool set.

Today, profile=free is a keyless mode. It overrides tools and exposes you-search and you-discover.

Examples:

  • Default tool set: https://api.you.com/mcp
  • Finance only: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance
  • Search plus finance: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-search,you-finance
  • Research only: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-research
  • Free profile (keyless): https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free
