What 2ools does

According to its repository: “Versioned projects from assistant-built work: shareable HTML previews, version comparison, delegated approvals, artifacts, work assignments and source export.”

An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. 2ools is listed under Developer tools, a category of 475 servers in the directory, where it ranks #461 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: anthropic, claude, claude-desktop, cursor, website-builder.

Installing and connecting 2ools

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

  • remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally

Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.

Security: what to check

An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.

None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to 2ools. That does not replace reading the code.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on August 7, 2026, the 2ools/mcp-server repository has 1 stars and 0 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 7% of the servers in the directory. Last change 2 months ago. Version published in the registry: 0.3.1 (August 7, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
