 # Model Context Protocol and Fireproof Demo: JSON Document Server
 
+[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/@fireproof-storage/mcp-database-server)](https://smithery.ai/server/@fireproof-storage/mcp-database-server)
+
 This is a simple example of how to use a [Fireproof](https://fireproof.storage/) database in a [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol) server (used for plugging code and data into A.I. systems such as [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)).
 
 This demo server implements a basic JSON document store with CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and the ability to query documents sorted by any field.
 
 # Installation
