Ships inside the vendor's own app or CLI rather than as a standalone download.

Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:

terminal
claude mcp add opensearch -- npx -y <package-from-readme>

Swap in the exact package and flags from the repo README — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
