How Syphon works

01 / Discover

Search the registry for MCP servers. Every package lists its tools, environment variables, and supported frameworks before you install anything.

02 / Install

syphon install <name> downloads, verifies the ed25519 signature, and can link the server into your agent config with --link.

03 / Publish

Run syphon publish to sign and upload your own MCP server. Secret scanning and manifest validation run automatically.
