Package Managers
npm/pnpm
The npm install path requires Node.js ^20.19.0 || ^22.12.0 || >=23.0.0.
# Install globally
npm install -g @1mcp/agent
# or
pnpm add -g @1mcp/agent
# Use directly
npx @1mcp/agent --config mcp.jsonDocker
You can also run 1MCP using Docker. We provide two image variants:
latest: Full-featured image with extra tools (uv, bun) - defaultlite: Lightweight image with basic Node.js package managers only (npm, pnpm, yarn)
Keep mcp.json and the optional sibling config.toml in a dedicated directory. The directory is mounted writable so mcp add and mcp update can persist changes.
# Prepare the container configuration directory
mkdir -p 1mcp-config
cp mcp.json 1mcp-config/
# If you use application settings such as auth: cp config.toml 1mcp-config/
# Pull and run (full image); publish only on the host loopback interface

docker compose up -dThese examples are reachable only from the Docker host. Before publishing 1MCP on another interface, enable authentication in 1mcp-config/config.toml, set ONE_MCP_EXTERNAL_URL to the public HTTPS URL, and follow the Authentication guide. Binding a runtime beyond loopback without authentication exposes its MCP capabilities to the network.
