arctl mcp run

arctl mcp run

Run an MCP server locally.

You can run:

  • A server from agentregistry by specifying the server name, such as ‘arctl mcp run @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything’.
  • A local MCP project by specifying the project path, such as ‘arctl mcp run .’ or ‘arctl mcp run ./my-mcp-server’.

For local projects, the server must be built first by using the ‘arctl mcp build’ command.
