Installation and Configuration: A Seamless Experience

Installing and configuring the Featurebase MCP Server is a breeze, thanks to the UBOS Asset Marketplace and the comprehensive documentation provided. The recommended installation method is through Smithery, a platform designed to simplify the deployment and management of MCP servers.

Installation from Smithery:

1. Once the server is published to Smithery, users can easily install it using the following command:

   bash npx featurebase-mcp

2. Alternatively, you can install it globally using:

   bash npm install -g featurebase-mcp

Configuration for Claude Desktop:

To integrate the server with Claude Desktop, you need to add it to your Claude Desktop configuration file. The location of this file varies depending on your operating system:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%Claudeclaude_desktop_config.json

Here are example configurations for different installation methods:

• Using npx (Recommended):

  { “mcpServers”: { “featurebase”: { “command”: “npx”, “args”: [“featurebase-mcp”], “env”: { “FEATUREBASE_API_KEY”: “your-api-key-here” } } } }

• Using Global Installation:

  { “mcpServers”: { “featurebase”: { “command”: “featurebase-mcp”, “env”: { “FEATUREBASE_API_KEY”: “your-api-key-here” } } } }

• Using Local Installation:

  { “mcpServers”: { “featurebase”: { “command”: “node”, “args”: [“/path/to/featurebase-mcp/build/index.js”], “env”: { “FEATUREBASE_API_KEY”: “your-api-key-here” } } } }

Obtaining and Setting Your API Key:

The server requires a valid Featurebase API key to function correctly. Here’s how to obtain and set it:

1. Log in to your Featurebase account.
2. Navigate to your account settings.
3. Generate an API key.
4. Important: Keep your API key secure and never commit it to version control.

There are several ways to set the FEATUREBASE_API_KEY environment variable:

1. Set it in your Claude Desktop configuration (recommended).
2. Export it in your shell: export FEATUREBASE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
3. Set it when running the server: FEATUREBASE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" npx featurebase-mcp
