Quickstart

Switchboard is an MCP gateway that connects your AI tools to 25+ integrations through a single endpoint. There are two ways to use it:

• Switchboard Hosted — managed service with team features, web dashboard, and zero infra
• Open Source — run the open-source binary locally for individual use

Installation (Open Source)

Install the open-source Switchboard CLI:

brew install daltoniam/tap/switchboard

go install github.com/daltoniam/switchboard@latest

Then run the setup wizard:
