Install Pharos CLI
One command to search, install, and manage every MCP server. Other registries list packages. Pharos gives you the tools to actually run them.

How it works
- 1
Search
Search 133,000+ MCP servers across modelcontextprotocol.io, glama.ai, lobehub.com, mcp.so, mcp.directory, and Smithery. Filter by transport (stdio, SSE, HTTP), runtime, or license.
- 2
Install
pharos install <name>downloads the server, verifies its SHA-512 hash, and writes the config. - 3
Connect
Pharos patches config files for 16 MCP clients (JSON, YAML, and TOML). Restart your agent and the new tools are available. No manual JSON editing.

Why Pharos
One CLI, every MCP server.
The Pharos CLI is a single Go binary. No Node, no npx, no sandbox. Install it on any OS and you are searching, installing, and managing MCP servers in seconds. 33 commands, 7 connected registries.
Full version control.
Immutable versions. Lockfiles. Semantic version resolution. Dependency graphs with circular detection. The same guarantees npm gives you for JavaScript packages, applied to MCP servers.
Agents discover, install, and maintain.
The Agent SDK and Pharos-Discovery MCP server let AI agents search the registry, evaluate options, request user consent, install, connect, and update MCP servers. Agents do not just install. They discover, auto-connect, and manage the full lifecycle.
In-chat OAuth.
MCP Apps integration means OAuth flows happen inline, in the chat. No browser redirects, no copy-paste tokens. The agent opens the flow, polls the callback, and stores the token.
Every registry, one search.
Pharos aggregates 133,000+ packages from modelcontextprotocol.io, glama.ai, lobehub.com, mcp.so, mcp.directory, and Smithery with full attribution to the original source. Search once, see everything, install from any registry.
