One-click installation of the solution is possible by using the Desktop Extensions (DXT) tool:
- Packaged as a .dxt file: Developers use the DXT CLI tool to package the MCP server into easy-to-install .dxt files
- One-click installation mechanism: End-users can simply double-click the .dxt file to complete the installation without having to manually configure environment variables or dependencies
- Automatic environmental detection: DXT automatically detects Node.js/Python runtime environments, etc. and provides clear guidelines
- Built-in dependency management: Include node_modules and other dependencies in the package to avoid environment inconsistencies.
Specific implementation steps: 1) install the DXT CLI tool; 2) create the manifest.json configuration file; 3) write the server code; 4) run the dxt pack command to pack; 5) distribute the .dxt file to the user to install.
