Quick Start Guide

First, install the MCP SuperAssistant Chrome extension:

1. Visit the Chrome Web Store page
2. Click "Add to Chrome"
3. Run the following command in your terminal to install the MCP SuperAssistant proxy server:
   npx @srbhptl39/mcp-superassistant-proxy@latest --config ./mcpconfig.json
   

4. This will run the local server at http://localhost:3006 by default.

For detailed installation instructions, see the Installation Guide.

After installation, configure your basic settings:

1. Open your preferred AI platform (such as ChatGPT or Perplexity)
2. Look for the MCP button on the chat interface (usually near the input area)
3. Click the MCP button and toggle the MCP switch to "ON" - this will reveal the sidebar
4. In the sidebar, check the server connection status - it should display "Connected" if working properly
5. If you see "Disconnected" status, verify that your MCP SuperAssistant proxy server is running correctly
6. If you're running the proxy server on a port other than the default 3006, enter the correct port number in the sidebar settings and click the "Connect" button

Now you're ready to use MCP SuperAssistant with your favorite AI platform:

1. Navigate to a supported AI platform like ChatGPT or Perplexity

2. Start a new conversation

3. Verify that the MCP SuperAssistant sidebar displays available tools

4. If tools aren't visible, check that the extension is properly installed and activated

5. Click the MCP button to access options for inserting the MCP prompt:

   • Select "Copy" to copy the prompt to your clipboard
   • Select "Insert" to automatically place the prompt in the chat
   • Select "Attach" to add the prompt as an attachment

   Note:

   The MCP instructions prompt is essential for the AI to understand how to use the tools effectively. Make sure to include it in your every conversation before asking the AI to perform tasks that require tools. The prompt is designed to guide the AI how to use the tools and generate the correct tool calls.

6. Once the MCP prompt is in place, you can start asking questions or giving commands

7. Test the functionality by asking something that requires tools, for example:

   • "Please read the contents of my file at /path/to/myfile.txt" (requires filesystem mcp server access)
   • "Fetch my latest unread emails" (requires Gmail MCP server)
