What is mcpconfig?
mcpconfig is a CLI that discovers and inspects MCP (Model Context Protocol) configs and servers across your AI coding tools. If you use Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, or similar apps, each one stores its MCP configuration in a different place. mcpconfig finds those config files and lists them—shows every MCP server (name, command, args) from them in one view—and can add or remove servers in one or more configs interactively.Quickstart
Install mcpconfig and run your first commands in a few minutes.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources (files, databases, APIs). Many AI coding apps support MCP via a config file where you declare “servers”—each with a command and optional args. mcpconfig does not run or manage those servers; it lists where configs live, what servers are defined in them, and can add or remove server entries in JSON and Codex TOML configs.What you can do
List config locations
See which MCP config files exist on your system and their full paths.
List servers across configs
View a combined table of every MCP server from found JSON and Codex TOML configs.
Add a server interactively
Select one or more apps, then enter name, command, and args; mcpconfig writes to each selected config.
Remove a server
Enter a server name, then select which configs to remove it from.
Install
Install globally with npm (
@yash_pandit/mcpconfig) or run with npx.Supported apps
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Windsurf, Zed, and more.
