Show HN: MCP Server Installation Instructions Generator (hyprmcp.com)

🤖 AI Summary
Show HN: the MCP Server Installation Instructions Generator is an open-source tool that auto-generates platform-specific setup steps for connecting remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to popular AI UIs and CLIs — Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code/Desktop, Windsurf, ChatGPT (Team/Enterprise connectors), Gemini CLI and more. Originally created to serve HTML requests when users hit MCP URLs protected by hyprmcp/mcp-gateway, the generator provides one-line commands, config-file edits (e.g., mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, ~/.gemini/settings.json) and direct-install links; example commands include claude mcp add --transport http [name] [url] and code --add-mcp '{"type":"http","name":"[server-name]","url":"[server-url]"}'. A demo and source are available at demo.hyprmcp.cloud/mcp-install-instructions-generator/mcp and github.com/hyprmcp/mcp-install-instructions-generator. Significance: by standardizing and simplifying onboarding of remote MCP servers, the generator lowers friction for developers and admins who want to centralize context, tools and authenticated capabilities for assistant workflows. Technical implications include needing HTTPS-hosted servers, optional MCP Server authentication for personalized tools, platform-specific header requirements (e.g., Gemini CLI should include Accept: application/json, text/event-stream), and ChatGPT connector limitations (admin permissions and Deep Research usage). This speeds integration of external toolsets and context injection into assistants, improving reproducibility and security for AI/ML deployments.
