Quick start

Run the command in your terminal

```bash
npx @mcpjam/inspector@latest

After installing the package, you should see a link to localhost. Open that link up to see the inspector.

If you don't have Node.js installed, check out our desktop app.

Once you hit submit, you should see the connection status as "Connected". This page is your server connections page. You can connect to multiple MCP servers simulatenously on MCPJam.

`@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything` is the example server from Anthropic

Test an MCP tool

Go to the "Tools" tab. You'll be able to see all of the MCP tools server-everything has. Tools tab lets you test individual tools with configured params.

Try testing out the add tool and set params for a and b. Upon hitting "Execute", you should see the tool's return value on the bottom.
