概览

AI 生成的概览

让 AI 助手按需搜索、安装并学会使用其他 MCP 服务器，无需重启会话。

可以做什么
Forage 是一个网关型 MCP 服务器，用于发现其他 MCP 服务器并代理其工具。它的工具包括 forage_search（在官方 MCP Registry、Smithery 和 npm 中搜索）、forage_evaluate（查看包详情、下载量、README 和安装命令）、forage_install（以子进程方式安装并启动服务器，需要用户批准）、forage_learn（把使用说明写入助手规则文件）、forage_status 和 forage_uninstall。已安装的工具会以带命名空间的名字重新注册，并通过 tools/list_changed 通知立即对助手可用。状态保存在本地目录中，之前安装的服务器会在下次会话自动启动。
适用场景
适合助手反复遇到缺少工具的任务、而你希望它自行找到并添加合适的 MCP 服务器，而不是逐个手动配置的场景。最适合能运行本地子进程的桌面编码助手，例如 Claude Code 或 Cursor。
运行要求
通过 stdio 在本地运行，从 npm 包 forage-mcp 安装（通常使用 npx）。需要 Node.js，以及用于注册表与 npm 搜索、下载所安装软件包的网络访问。未声明任何账号、API 密钥或环境变量。
安装前请注意
安装工具会对第三方包执行 npx -y 并将其作为子进程启动，因此只应批准你信任的包；每次 forage_install 调用都需要 confirm: true。forage_learn 会写入 CLAUDE.md、AGENTS.md 或 .cursor/rules/ 等助手规则文件，已安装的服务器会在之后的会话中自动启动。子服务器的环境变量在安装时传入且不会被持久化，但子服务器本身会收到这些变量。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Forage，将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only，通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程，因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

README

🌿 Forage

Self-improving tool discovery for AI agents.

Install one MCP server. Your agent finds the rest.

[npm version] [npm downloads] [License: MIT]

npm · GitHub · Contributing

Forage is an MCP server that lets AI agents discover, install, and learn to use new tools — automatically. When an agent hits a wall, it forages for the right tool, installs it, and teaches itself how to use it. No restarts. No manual config. The agent gets permanently smarter.

Why?

AI coding agents are limited to whatever tools they're configured with at session start. Need to query a database? Deploy to Vercel? Search Slack? The agent apologizes and you manually install the right MCP server.

Forage closes that loop:

Agent encounters a task it can't do  → forage_search("query postgres database")  → forage_install("@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres")  → Tools available IMMEDIATELY (no restart)  → forage_learn() saves instructions to CLAUDE.md  → Next session: auto-starts, agent already knows how to use it

Quick Start

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add forage -- npx -y forage-mcp

Cursor

bash
npx forage-mcp init --client cursor

That's it. Start a new session and Forage is ready.

Tools

ToolDescription
forage_searchSearch for MCP servers across the Official MCP Registry, Smithery, and npm
forage_evaluateGet details on a package — downloads, README, install command
forage_installInstall and start an MCP server as a proxied subprocess (requires user approval)
forage_learnWrite usage instructions to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .cursor/rules/
forage_statusList all installed and running tools
forage_uninstallRemove a tool and clean up rules

How It Works

Forage is a gateway/proxy MCP server:

  1. You install Forage once — it's the only MCP server you configure manually
  2. Forage discovers tools — searches the Official MCP Registry, Smithery, and npm in parallel
  3. Forage installs tools — starts them as child processes, wraps their capabilities
  4. No restart needed — emits list_changed notifications so the agent picks up new tools instantly
  5. Knowledge persists — forage_learn writes to agent rule files, manifest auto-starts tools next session

When you install a tool through Forage:

  1. Forage runs npx -y <package> as a child process
  2. Connects to it via StdioClientTransport (MCP client)
  3. Discovers the child server's tools via listTools
  4. Re-registers each tool on the Forage server with a namespaced name (foraged__<server>__<tool>)
  5. Sends tools/list_changed notification — the agent sees new tools immediately
  6. When the agent calls a proxied tool, Forage forwards the call to the child server
Persistence

Forage stores its state in ~/.forage/:

FilePurpose
manifest.jsonInstalled tools, command/args, auto-start configuration
install-log.jsonAudit trail of all installs and uninstalls
cache/Cached registry search results

On startup, Forage reads the manifest and auto-starts all previously installed servers. Your agent picks up right where it left off.

CLI

Forage also includes a CLI for humans:

bash
forage search "postgres database"    # Search registriesforage list                          # List installed toolsforage init                          # Set up for Claude Codeforage init --client cursor          # Set up for Cursor

Security

[!IMPORTANT] Forage cannot install tools without explicit user approval. Every forage_install call requires confirm: true.

  • Audit trail — every install/uninstall is logged with timestamps to ~/.forage/install-log.json
  • No remote backend — everything runs locally. Registry searches are read-only GET requests to public APIs.
  • No secrets stored — environment variables for child servers are passed at install time, not persisted.

Development

bash
git clone https://github.com/isaac-levine/forage.gitcd foragenpm installnpm run build

Test locally with Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add forage-dev -- node /path/to/forage/dist/server.js

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
