"Create a collection called 'My Dev Tools' with these assisters: ..."

Authentication

Set the ASSISTERS_API_KEY environment variable to your Assisters API key. Generate one from assisters.dev/dashboard/api-keys.

The MCP server uses this key for all API calls on your behalf. Treat it like a password — never commit it to source control.

Transport

The server uses stdio transport — it communicates over stdin/stdout, which is the standard MCP transport for local tools.

Source

The MCP server is open source: github.com/misaradmin/assisters (packages/mcp-server/).
