Build with mcp-use v2

Steps to Build and Deploy an MCP App to Manufact Cloud

  1. Choose an MCP App to Build
    Ask what MCP app to build. If unsure, propose the example MCP Apps (widgets) template.

  2. Login to the CLI 

    npx -y mcp-use@latest login

  3. Install the mcp-use Skill (Non-Interactive)
    This will guide you through the rest of the steps. 

    npx --yes skills add mcp-use/mcp-use#main --yes --skill mcp-apps-builder -a cursor -a claude-code -a codex

  4. Build the Server
    Scaffold with the MCP Apps (widgets) template and implement the tools and widgets agreed upon. 

    npx -y create-mcp-use-app@latest my-mcp-app --template mcp-apps

  5. Deploy
    Ask which GitHub org to use:

    • For a Manufact-managed repo (no GitHub setup needed): 
      npx -y mcp-use@latest deploy --no-github -y
    • For your own GitHub:
      Ask for the GitHub account/org, ensure the mcp-use GitHub App is installed, authorize it, then push the project: 
      npx -y mcp-use@latest deploy -y

  6. Post-Deployment
    When live, provide both:

    • MCP URL (to connect clients)
    • Manufact Cloud dashboard URL (for analytics, evals, observability, logs, etc.)
