Wayforth MCP Server

The runtime that keeps AI agents running in production. v0.9.2 One install gives an agent a single place to discover, use, and pay for thousands of services - and when one fails mid-run, Wayforth reroutes so the agent keeps going. Agents break in production. Yours won't. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting search tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Wayforth

before you install - you'll need

WAYFORTH_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add wayforthofficial-wayforth -- uvx wayforth-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wayforthofficial-wayforth": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "wayforth-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

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

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package wayforth-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

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

What is Wayforth?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
