MCP support

This package is a compatibility forwarder for bytestay-distill-mcp. Configure an MCP client to run the successor package directly for continued use.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

From the project README

hybridforgelab-distill-mcp: moved to bytestay-distill-mcp

This package has moved to bytestay-distill-mcp. Hybrid Forge Lab is now ByteStay.

This last version only installs bytestay-distill-mcp and forwards to it. It prints a one-line notice on stderr and gets no more updates.

Switch

Replace hybridforgelab-distill-mcp with bytestay-distill-mcp in your MCP client config:

"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "bytestay-distill-mcp", "distill-mcp"]

Or with Claude Code:

claude mcp add distill --env RAPIDAPI_KEY=your-rapidapi-key -- uvx --from bytestay-distill-mcp distill-mcp

The environment variables are the same, so your keys keep working.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
