What it does

Connects to a Forest Admin backend with OAuth, giving an agent the same view an internal operator has. Useful for support triage: look up the record the customer is asking about. The permission model is the vendor's, so read it before granting — admin panels are deliberately powerful.

Install

Terminal

npx -y @forestadmin/mcp-server

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forest-admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@forestadmin/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs admin inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
