mcpm — Universal MCP Server Manager

How it works

Stop editing JSON configs by hand

One command installs a server into every AI client you have — using the right config format for each.

✗ Before — manual config editing

~/.claude.json

# Edit claude config

vim ~/.claude.json

# Then edit cursor...

vim ~/.cursor/mcp.json

# Then zed...

vim ~/.config/zed/settings.json

# ... (4 more clients)

# Hope you got the format right 🤞

✓ After — one command

terminal

$ mcpm install github

Detected 4 clients…

✓ Claude Code

✓ Cursor

✓ Zed

✓ Windsurf

✓ Done in 0.3s

🔍

Search 1000+ servers

Browse by name, tag, or description. Find exactly what you need across 5 runtimes.

🩺

Doctor checks

Verify all installed servers are reachable and correctly configured.

🔄

Auto-update

Keep servers current across npm, PyPI, Docker Hub, and the Go module proxy.

📋
