What makes a good MCP server README?

Clear installation steps

List every command needed to install dependencies and build the server. Users should be able to follow without prior knowledge.

Complete env var documentation

List every variable, whether it is required, and what it expects. Missing env vars are the most common cause of MCP server startup failures.

Client config example

Show a real config snippet users can paste into their MCP client, with a note to verify file location for their specific client.

Available tools list

Name every tool the server exposes and briefly describe what it does. This helps users verify the server loaded correctly.

Security section

Remind users not to commit .env files and to review tool permissions. MCP servers often have access to filesystems or APIs.

Troubleshooting section

Document the 2-3 most common setup failures. Saves support time and improves the experience for new users.

Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sections does the generated README include?

Table of contents, Installation, Configuration (env vars + MCP client config example), Usage (run command), Available Tools table, Troubleshooting (if provided), Security notes, and License.

Can I edit the README after generating it?

Yes — copy the output or download the .md file and edit it in any text editor or markdown tool. The generator creates a starting template, not a finished document.

What is the MCP client config section for?

It shows users of your server how to add it to their MCP client. The generator includes a note reminding readers that config file location and format vary by client — they should check their client's documentation.

Why is a security section included automatically?

MCP servers often handle sensitive data or credentials. The security section reminds users to keep .env files out of version control and to review tool permissions — this is important to include in any MCP server README.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The README is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
