You can install Unblocked MCP into other MCP clients through the following methods.
The exact details for how you configure your MCP client can vary widely. Contact Us if you need help with this.

​
Local MCP (macOS)

First, install the Unblocked CLI: 
curl -fsSL https://getunblocked.com/install.sh | bash
Then configure your MCP client with the following local MCP parameters:
  • Method: stdio
  • Command: ~/.unblocked/bin/unblocked
  • Arguments: mcp --autoupdate
Replace ~ with the full path to your home directory if your MCP client does not support tilde expansion (e.g. /Users/<username>/.unblocked/bin/unblocked).

​
Remote MCP

You can connect to the Unblocked MCP server remotely, without installing any local applications.
Some MCP clients support connecting via the HTTP+SSE transport mechanism — this may be listed as ‘HTTP+SSE’ or simply ‘SSE’.HTTP+SSE has been deprecated in the MCP specification in favour of streamable HTTP and is not supported by Unblocked MCP. If your client provides an option for the transport mechanism, select ‘HTTP’.
