Manus MCP server

This MCP server provides a framework for orchestrating specialized AI agents that work together to accomplish complex tasks through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which enables effective collaboration by providing a shared context and communication layer.

Installation

To install the ManusMCP server, follow these steps:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mantrakp04/manusmcp.git
cd manusmcp/pytools

# Install dependencies
npm i -g bun
bash flowise.sh

Setting Up with Docker

For a quick setup using Docker:

cp .env.example .env
docker-compose up -d

Configuring Flowise

To set up the agent workflows in Flowise:

1. Open Flowise UI in your browser at http://localhost:8001
2. Navigate to the "Agentflows" section
3. Click on "Add New" (located in the top right corner)
4. Click Settings (top right)
5. Click Import and select the v2.2 file, then save it
6. Create a new flow (restart from step 2)
7. Use v2.3 as the flow file

Inspecting the MCP Server

You can check the MCP server with the following commands:

cd pytools
bunx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run manusmcp

Runtime Recommendation

It's recommended to use bun as the runtime environment for optimal performance.

Model Compatibility

Note: The MCP server has been tested primarily with Anthropic models. This limited compatibility is due to specific requirements in the way the Model Context Protocol operates.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "manusmcp" '{"command":"bunx","args":["@modelcontextprotocol/inspector","uv","run","manusmcp"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "manusmcp": {
            "command": "bunx",
            "args": [
                "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector",
                "uv",
                "run",
                "manusmcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "manusmcp": {
            "command": "bunx",
            "args": [
                "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector",
                "uv",
                "run",
                "manusmcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
