Introduction to Relay
Relay is a cross-platform desktop application designed to simplify the management of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Instead of manually editing JSON configuration files (`claude_desktop_config.json`) and juggling terminal processes, Relay gives you a unified visual interface to install, configure, and monitor your AI tools.
For Developers
Instantly spin up database connections, Git integrations, and filesystem access for your AI assistant. Debug connections with live logs.
For Power Users
Access a marketplace of 290+ community servers. Connect productivity tools like Notion, Slack, and Google Drive without writing code.
Why use Relay?
- Visual Management: Toggle servers on/off with a click.
- Secure Secrets: API keys are stored in your OS keychain, not plain text.
- Universal Export: Configure once, export to Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
- Live Debugging: See exactly what your AI is sending and receiving.
