Model Shunt

Model Shunt runs locally from a Python package published to PyPI: model-shunt version 1.2.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Python; clients usually start it with uvx (from uv) or after pip install — the usual command is uvx model-shunt.

Model Shunt runs locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: model-shunt version 1.2.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Node.js; clients usually start it with npx — the usual command is npx -y model-shunt@1.2.1.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "model-shunt": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "model-shunt"
      ]
    }
  }
}
