before you install - you'll need

Set TEMPLATED_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add templated-io-mcp-server-templated --transport http https://mcp.templated.io/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "templated-io-mcp-server-templated": {
      "url": "https://mcp.templated.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.templated.io

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package mcp-server-templated - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.templated-io is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
