Install the Steel MCP Server
No one-line setup: it needs a build step, an app plugin or account details. Follow the README, then add it to your client the way the MCP setup guide shows for Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others.
Security notes
- It reads web pages, and a page can carry prompt-injection instructions. Keep approval prompts on and use a browser profile without your personal sign-ins.
