MCP Server Installation Script

This script automates the installation and configuration of various Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for use with Claude Desktop. It handles the installation of dependencies (Homebrew, Node.js, Python, uv) and sets up multiple MCP servers.

Secrets Management

1Password Integration

The script integrates with 1Password to securely retrieve API keys and credentials. This approach avoids hardcoding sensitive information in the script or configuration files.

Requirements:

• 1Password CLI (op) must be installed and accessible
• You must be signed in to 1Password CLI
• A vault named MCP must exist in your 1Password account
• Required credentials must be stored in this vault as described below

If 1Password is not available or properly set up, the script will use empty placeholders and notify you to manually update the credentials later.

Required Credentials per MCP Server

Each MCP server requires specific credentials to be stored in the 1Password MCP vault:

1. Firecrawl

   • Item name: Firecrawl
   • Fields:
     • api_key: Your Firecrawl API key

2. Zendesk

   • Item name: Zendesk
   • Fields:
     • username: Your Zendesk email
     • api_token: Your Zendesk API token
     • subdomain: Your Zendesk subdomain (e.g., company.zendesk.com)

3. Slack

   • Item name: Slack
   • Fields:
     • bot_token: Your Slack bot token
     • team_id: Your Slack team ID

4. Gmail

     • client_id: Your Google API client ID
     • client_secret: Your Google API client secret

5. Atlassian

   • Fields:
     • url: Your Jira URL
     • username: Your Jira username/email
     • token: Your Jira API token

   • Fields:
     • token: Your Notion API token

7. Rootly

Manual Configuration

If you don't have 1Password or prefer to configure credentials manually:

1. Run the script without 1Password integration
2. Edit the generated .env files in each MCP server's directory
3. Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Alternative Storage for Tokens (Without 1Password)

If you're not using 1Password, you can store your tokens in the following locations:

1. For Productivity MCPs (Claude Desktop):

   • Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Update the environment variables in each MCP server's configuration

   Example for Slack:

   "slack": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": [
       "-y",
       "@modelcontextprotocol/server-slack"
     ],
     "env": {
       "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "xoxb-your-token-here",
       "SLACK_TEAM_ID": "T01234ABCDE"
     }
   }
   

2. For Engineering MCPs (Cursor IDE):

   • Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json
   • Update the environment variables in each MCP server's configuration

   Example for Figma:

   "figma": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": [
       "-y",
       "figma-developer-mcp",
       "--figma-api-key=your-api-key-here",
       "--stdio"
     ]
   }
   

3. For Repository-based MCP servers:

   • Update the .env file in the server's directory

   Example for Atlassian (~/mcp-atlassian/.env):

   JIRA_URL="https://your-company.atlassian.net"
   JIRA_USERNAME="your.email@example.com"
   JIRA_TOKEN="your-api-token"
   

Remember to keep your tokens secure and never share them publicly.

Running the Script

Prerequisites

• macOS (works on both Intel and Apple Silicon)

Installation Steps

1. Download the script to your local machine

   curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drdee/mcp-installer/refs/heads/main/mcp.sh | bash
   

2. The script will:

   • Install or update Homebrew
   • Install Python 3.12+ and uv
   • Install Node.js v23+ via NVM
   • Download and install Claude Desktop (if not already installed)
   • Install 1Password CLI (if not already installed)
   • Install and configure all MCP servers
   • Create the necessary configuration files

3. Review the installation summary at the end for any warnings or issues

Log File

The script logs all operations to ~/Library/Logs/mcp_installation_script.log. Check this file if you encounter any issues.

After Installation

1. Start Claude Desktop from the Applications folder
2. The MCP servers will be available for use with Claude
3. If any credentials were missing, update them in the appropriate .env files or in the Claude Desktop configuration

Troubleshooting

• If the script fails to install any dependencies, try installing them manually
• Ensure you have proper permissions for directories being accessed
• Check the log file for specific error messages
• If a specific MCP server fails to install, you can try running that portion of the script manually
