As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "HIKERAPI_KEY=<YOUR_HIKERAPI_KEY>" --transport stdio hikerapi-mcp -- npx -y hikerapi-mcp[mcp_servers.hikerapi-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "hikerapi-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.hikerapi-mcp.env]
HIKERAPI_KEY = "<YOUR_HIKERAPI_KEY>"{
"mcpServers": {
"hikerapi-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"hikerapi-mcp"
],
"env": {
"HIKERAPI_KEY": "<YOUR_HIKERAPI_KEY>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: HIKERAPI_TOOLS.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
