Getting Started
Set up your account and deploy your first server.
1. Sign In
Getting started with MCPLambda is easy. Visit mcplambda.io and sign in using your existing GitHub or Google account. This automatically creates your first project.
2. Deploy Your First Server
Once signed in, you can deploy your first MCP server directly from the dashboard.
Example: Deploying a Time Server
- Click on Create Deployment.
- Select your preferred Deployment Flow (Package, Git, or Image).
- For this example, choose Package and enter the source:
npx://@mcp/server-time. - Give your deployment a name (e.g.,
time-server). - Click Deploy.
In usually some seconds later, your server will be up and running. You can watch the real-time deployment status and live logs from the dashboard.
3. Connecting Your Agent
After your deployment is successful, MCPLambda provides you with a unique Deployment URL. Depending on the Transport Type you selected (Standard I/O, Streamable HTTP, or SSE), you will use this URL to connect your MCP client (like Cursor, VSCode, or Claude Desktop).
- For Remote Clients (Cursor/VSCode): Use the deployment URL directly in your client’s MCP settings.
- For Local Clients (Claude Desktop): Use the URL or our CLI bridge to route traffic to your deployment.
For detailed instructions on setting up specific tools, see our Connecting AI Clients guide.
