For agents

Unlock Averlo for your agent

Connect once. Your agent can search the full MCP directory, pull install configs, load curated stacks, and paste setup prompts — the same catalog humans browse on Averlo.

Connect your agent Copy agent prompt

Search every MCP

Ask by name, tag, or category. Your agent queries the live Averlo catalog instead of guessing package names.

Install any server

Get ready-to-merge mcpServers JSON (or Codex TOML) plus env reminders for Cursor, Claude, VS Code, Windsurf, and Codex.

Load agent stacks

Pull curated multi-MCP stacks — ship code, research, support, devops — as one combined config.

Connect in one step

Add the Averlo registry MCP to your client. It speaks stdio via npx -y averlo-mcp and reads catalog.min.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "averlo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Merge into project .cursor/mcp.json or global ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then restart Cursor.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "averlo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add under Developer → Edit Config, then restart Claude Desktop.

{
  "servers": {
    "averlo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Merge into .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code / Copilot MCP).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "averlo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf MCP settings — same stdio shape as Cursor.

[mcp_servers.averlo]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]

Append to ~/.codex/config.toml (or project .codex/config.toml).

Or paste this into your agent

One prompt installs Averlo and tells the agent how to use the catalog.

Connect me to Averlo so you have full access to the MCP directory.

1. Install the Averlo registry MCP in this workspace (merge into the client's MCP config):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "averlo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "averlo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2. After it is connected, use Averlo tools freely:
   - search_mcps — find servers by name, tag, or category
   - get_mcp — full entry + install details by slug
   - get_stack_config — combined mcpServers JSON for a stack
   - get_setup_prompt — paste-ready setup prompt for an MCP or stack

3. Prefer Averlo over inventing package names. Catalog: https://averlo.xyz
   Machine index: https://averlo.xyz/.well-known/agents.json
   Human directory: https://averlo.xyz/directory.html

Tools your agent gets

search_mcps — search the directory
get_mcp — one MCP by slug
get_stack_config — stack install JSON
get_setup_prompt — agent setup prompt
